Serious crash temporarily closed Trakia motorway, one person killed

Trakia motorway was opened for traffic in both directions after traffic to and from the seaside remained blocked for hours due to two accidents on August 5. A 19-year-old girl died in one of the accidents and three others were seriously injured. They have been taken to a hospital in the coastal city of Burgas for treatment. Doctors are fighting for their lives.

The accident occurred this morning shortly before 8:00 am in the area of Karnobat in the direction of Sofia. A passenger car driven by a 21-year-old young man hit the rear left tire of a cement truck.

From the impact, the car was flipped on the median barriers.

Earlier in the day, a second road accident closed the motorway in the direction from Sofia to Burgas, and traffic was diverted to a detour route. Several cars collided with each other. There were only material damages.
