18-year old driver Adrian Antonov whose car hit and killed 22-year old Yavor Stoyanov and 24-year old Anna-Maria Milcheva at an intersection in Sofia in May, was released from custody at the beginning of July, media in Bulgaria have reported.
This took place after the Sofia City Court ordered Antonov to be released from custody on his own recognizance, as the law stipulates that when the charges are of criminal negligence, the defendant cannot be remanded in custody for more than two months. Forensics show that Antonov was driving at 101 km/h, instead of the permitted 50 km/h. The accident triggered a wave of protests against the war on the roads in Bulgaria.
Protesters gathered this morning on the spot where the road accident took place in May. A national protest in front of parliament building is planned by the parents of road accident victims on 1 September.
