IN 6 DAYS: More than 70 serious accidents with 13 dead and over 90 injured.

Expert: Road markings in many places are of poor quality and disappear quickly
A serious accident between a bus with Romanian registration and a car took place on the night of August 6 on the road Veliko Tarnovo – Ruse, in the section between the villages of Kutsina and Polikraishte.

According to Bogdan Milchev from the Road Safety Institute, from August 2 to 8, there were more than 70 serious accidents with 13 deaths and over 90 injured. “We are currently in an unprecedented crisis of our transport system. DAPB does not have a risk management plan and they wanted it from us. The Railway Tunnel is ready, but geological surveys are not being carried out due to landslides. There should be an action plan that includes enhanced traffic control during traffic with new means,” he believes.

According to road expert engineer Zhivko Gelkov, markings are missing in many places, and they are disappearing because they are applied with poor-quality materials. “There are objective and subjective factors influencing the occurrence of a disaster. The main one is human error. There are many trees and bushes in the area of ​​the crash, which limits visibility. A 60 km/h road sign does not solve the visibility problem,” he pointed out.

According to him, there is a structure in the API, and in the regional road services there are people responsible for road safety, not BG Toll and the Traffic Police.

The children are from the town of Batajnica, near Belgrade, and were returning to their homeland after a holiday on our Black Sea coast. A witness said that they were returning from a festival in “Sunny Beach”, and shortly before the accident they stopped for a rest.

The Deputy Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Stanimir Stanev, told NOVA that he could not yet comment on the causes of the cruel accident. It is only clear that the pavement was wet.

Ambulances, five teams of the fire department and five teams of the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived at the scene. Many of the passing cars stopped and dozens of people came to the aid of the injured. All of them have been taken to the University Hospital in Stara Zagora, the director of the medical facility, Prof. Yovcho Yovchev, confirmed for NOVA. According to his information, 17 children are housed there, the youngest hospitalized is 6 years old, and the oldest is 17. Four of the admitted children have been sent for a scan. One of the elderly injured has a serious leg injury and will likely require amputation.

A witness to what happened, who also helped the passengers on the bus, told NOVA that all those on the ambulances were conscious. There was a child and two adults, who, however, were in a visibly worse condition.

“I don’t wish anyone to see such a sight – crying children covered in blood,” said Theodore. And he added that he heard one of the leaders of the children’s group say that 48 people were traveling on the bus. The woman also said that there were no cars that prevented the bus from moving and that it overturned in the ditch by itself.

On the order of the chief prosecutor Ivan Geshev, a team of investigators from the National Investigation Service went to the scene of the road accident near Stara Zagora to begin investigative actions this very night.

Road safety expert Diana Rusinova also arrived at the scene. “There are strict rules on where a road barrier system is placed, and despite everything, the EU encourages the installation of resilient fences on the right-hand side as well to prevent such incidents,” she said.

“Once again, we are witnessing an accident involving a bus and one body that is absent, resting on Sunday – “Automotive Administration”. If the bus crashed in the daylight, around 8 p.m., it cannot reach the border in the daylight, and it is absolutely forbidden to transport children in the dark. The lack of control of these circumstances lead to what we see,” she added.

According to her, there is a possibility that the driver fell asleep behind the wheel or felt sick.

The 19-year-old, who caused the accident with victims near Strazhitsa, did not have a Bulgarian driver’s license.

Two teenagers died in the accident
The 19-year-old driver who lost control of his vehicle and left the road, killing 16 and 17-year-old children on the spot, was disqualified. He does not have a Bulgarian driver’s license. There is evidence that he has a German driver’s license, the prosecutor’s office revealed.

A total of four teenagers were traveling in the car owned by the driver. A 14-year-old boy was injured in the accident and is in hospital with a severe brain injury.

Iliyan Blagoev, who is a prosecutor in the Veliko Tarnovo District Prosecutor’s Office, said that the prosecution will ask the District Court to keep the 19-year-old driver in custody for up to 72 hours. The car driver has not been drag tested and field tested.

Due to the serious condition of the driver, his blood sample was taken later.
The most likely cause of the crash was high speed on a wet road. After the car became unmanageable, it crashed into roadside trees. According to a former police chief and current director of the Motor Vehicle Administration, the cause of such accidents is cocky young drivers.

“Many of the accidents happen due to ignorance and illiteracy of those who cause the accidents,” said Boyko Ranovski – director of IA DAA.

According to him, the control of the traffic police at one point turns out to be ineffective. And it’s time for them to start patrolling by becoming part of the traffic. Thus, it will not be detected by mobile applications.
“When the police are moving in traffic, and these applications will not show the reality as it is at the moment,” emphasized Ranovski.

After yesterday’s incident near Strazhitsa, the prosecution will ask the District Court to remand the 19-year-old driver. If he is found guilty, the penalty is imprisonment for between 3 and 10 years. The young man has a clean judicial and police record.
