At a meeting with North Macedonia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Bujar Osmani, representatives of Bulgaria’s Prosecutor’s Office committed themselves to work as quickly as possible on the investigation of the tragic road accident on Struma motorway, which claimed 46 lives.
According to one of the theories, the bus was carrying a certain amount of fuel- petrol or diesel, and something caused ignition. The bus burned in seconds. The furniture of the bus cannot cause such a massive fire. According to production specifications, it is made of non-combustible materials, expert Nikolay Hristov, who investigated the freight train accident in Hitrino, said for the BNR.
North Macedonia’s Ministry of Transport announced that it intended to revoke the license of Besa Trans company, which owned the bus that caught fire on Struma motorway, killing 46 passengers. The burnt vehicle was not found in the Transport Ministry’s e- database, BNR’s envoy Georgi Markov informed. The Struma motorway lane towards Blagoevgrad remains closed until all inspections at the scene of the tragic accident are completed.
