The woman pushed from Westminster Bridge during Wednesday’s attack was due to receive a marriage proposal the same day, the BBC has learned.
Romanian tourist Andreea Cristea, 29, was in London with partner Andrei Burnaz to celebrate his birthday, when she was hurled into the Thames.
She remains unconscious in a London hospital, the Romanian ambassador, Dan Mihalache, told BBC News.
He described her condition as “stable, but in a good direction”.
“It’s a miracle she survived”, he told BBC News on Friday. “She was practically thrown into the Thames.”
Mr Mihalache said he thought the attacker’s car mounted the pavement and hit
Mr Burnaz first, before pushing Ms Cristea into the Thames.
“That’s quite dramatic”, he said. “We hope that all will be okay. In the end she survived, she was strong enough.”
It was previously not known whether she jumped to escape the car or was hit and hurled into the water.
