A tragic accident involving a bus carrying Ukrainians occurred near the border of Bulgaria and Turkey. Two people died and at least 16 others were injured.
This is reported by Novinite.
The accident occurred on the Burgas – Malko Tarnovo highway near the checkpoint to Turkey.
According to preliminary data, there were 37 passengers and two drivers on the bus — all Ukrainian citizens. The transport stopped due to a lack of fuel. After that, people got out of the cabin and gathered behind the bus.
At some point, the vehicle began to move backwards on its own. It hit the passengers, then slid into a ditch and overturned.
As a result, two people died on the spot. At least 16 more people were injured, some of them in serious condition.
The injured were taken to hospitals in Burgas and to a medical facility in Malko Tarnovo. Other passengers were treated on the spot and temporarily accommodated in a special center.
The bus driver was detained. Law enforcement officers are currently investigating all the circumstances of the tragedy, and the investigation is ongoing.
