Officials from several ministries, as well as the prosecutor’s office, are calling an emergency meeting at the Interior Ministry today to discuss the circumstances surrounding last night’s severe road accident near Svoge, in which 16 were killed and 18 injured.
An investigation is underway into why the bus, owned by a private transport company and transporting old-age pensioners on an excursion, flipped over after hitting several vehicles in heavy rain.
After visiting several of the people injured in a Sofia hospital, President Rumen Radev stated that the problem of the growing number of road accidents must be solved by the joint efforts of multiple institutions, and not, as is usual, by the traffic police.
Monday, 27 August has been declared a national day of mourning.
