The vehicle crashed into the monastery wall at high speed. Local media photos showed the extent of the damage.
Belous was declared dead on the spot and survived by his wife and two children.
He may not have been aware of what caused him to take off on the road before hitting the brick wall at the monastery's entrance in Calaraseuca.
Belous made it to the second round at London Games, where he won bronze in the Welterweight category at the 2017 European Championships.
Petru Caduc was the coach of the fighter for more than 15 years. Publika quotes him as saying that "He was very technical." In Moldova, there were very few athletes who could use such techniques.
He was a person, and a dedicated man. He did everything I asked. He was trustworthy and never lied to me.
"He was a great fighter. We are deeply sorry for what has happened.
Belous beat Seleman Kidunda from Tanzania in London Olympics, before losing to Taras Shelestyuk of Ukraine at the 16th stage.
He won 72 victories and two KOs in 116 amateur fights. He lost on 44 occasions, including the last fight in Poland, which was only four months ago.
Igor Untila, coach of the Moldovan national boxing team, said: "He was a performance athlete, the pride and joy of Moldovan Boxing."
"He was a participant in the Olympic Games, and it is a terrible tragedy that he died." We send condolences to his family and all of his loved ones.
