7 km from the border checkpoint with Turkey, a terrible accident on the Elhovo – Lesovo highway claimed the lives of 3 people and another 16 were injured.

Shortly before 6 am on Friday, an Iveco bus with the license plate Sliven, which carried 18 passengers from Sliven, Yambol and Karnobat to a market in Edirne,

The bus driver, Delyan Arsov, 59, and two other men, 53 and 75, were killed at the scene, all the others were injured and two of the women were seriously injured and in danger of death.

Shortly after 2.30 p.m., a few hours after being admitted to the intensive care unit at Yambol hospital, a Spartan military plane landed at Bezmer airport to transport them to the Pirogov Hospital in Sofia. However, it turned out that the condition of the two women was critical and there was a risk that they would not survive the flight, so they were returned to the Yambol hospital. With medication and equipment flown in, they stabilized for several hours and at 5:45 pm they loaded onto the Spartan.

From Yambol, the Minister of Health, Prof. Kostadin Angelov, personally led the action to save the seriously injured. He accompanied the ambulances to the Bezmer airport, and when it became clear that the flight to Pirogov had been postponed, the minister, until recently head of the Alexandrovska Hospital, returned with them to the Yambol hospital.

All the bus passengers were transported there, including a 17-year-old girl. However, two of them refused to receive treatment in Yambol and sought medical help at Sliven Regional Hospital “Dr. Ivan Seliminski”. They are a man with head injuries and a woman with a broken arm who have not been hospitalized. Three others were examined and released.

“In such situations, all teams are mobilized. I spoke with Professor Asen Baltov, the director of Pirogov, we have provided blood if necessary from Stara Zagora. We are in full coordination and readiness,” said Minister Angelov.

The Ministry of Health clarified that the signal of the incident was delivered at 5.48 am by telephone 112 to the regional coordination center.

emergency medical care: two teams were immediately dispatched from Elhovo, four more teams responded at the same time (3 from Yambol and 1 from Tenevo), followed by one from Bolyarovo and the branch of the Emergency Medical Care Center – Haskovo, in Topolovgrad.

11 of the injured, 9 women and 2 men, were admitted to the Yambol hospital. After two of the women were sent to Pirogov, one remained in the Yambol intensive care unit, three in the operating room and five in the orthopedic department.

The truck driver, who is Moldovan, was detained for 24 hours until the reasons for the accident were clarified, but his arrest will most likely take 72 hours, Yambol district attorney Doychin Doychev told 24 Chassa, who was also in the place. . A sample with a lozenge reported the presence of alcohol in the circulating blood, but in negligible amounts. The dead driver test is negative, prosecutor Doychev specified.

The reason why the truck stopped on the road is still being clarified. There were no signs around it, like a triangle. According to initial information, the truck waited in a one-kilometer line to cross the border. However, following questioning of witnesses and employees of the Lesovo border checkpoint, it became clear that at the time of the accident the tail had already been removed.

even if he didn’t feel the movement in front of him, the researchers admit.

“The accident happened on a straight stretch, there was good visibility, but the pavement was wet,” Interior Minister Hristo Terziiski told parliament.

“We are in shock, it is very difficult for us. We don’t know exactly what happened. It is possible that our driver felt ill, had a heart attack. He has been working with us for 5 years, but has a lot of experience, without traffic violations. He takes regular Sliven – Edirne courses and knows the route well. He had even learned Turkish. However, we learned that the truck had stopped on the road and visibility was limited early in the morning. But we also discovered that there were traces of a brake road on the asphalt, which means that Delyan sensed the danger and tried to stop. But we can’t say anything for sure until the situation is cleared up. We have been in the market for 18 years, none of this has happened to us ”, said the company” Dimovi “Ltd., which organized the trip to Edirne.

It is registered at Tekstilets Street in Sliven, is licensed for international transport and organized tourist trips at home and abroad, and even carries packages to various overseas destinations.

According to company information, the trips are made with new 20-seater luxury buses. In front of our reporter, a very upset company employee explained that the crashed bus had the corresponding documents in the State Automobile Inspection.

The prosecution also confirmed that there is a stopping distance at the scene, which means that the bus driver did not fall asleep at the wheel.

The 14-year-old Iveco bus departed for Edirne from the parking lot of the Billa store in Sliven around 4.30am on October 9. For the last time before the incident, he stopped in the town of Okop between Yambol and Elhovo to pick up passengers.

Recently, the interest of Bulgarians in the markets of Turkey has increased, because due to the exchange rate of the Turkish lira there are lower prices and some goods are bought cheaply. Due to the COVID-19 infection, until recently private travel to our southern neighbor was restricted, but these restrictions have already been lifted and many rushed to buy in the south, tour operators commented.

“I have no information about the Karnobat passengers who were traveling in the minibus, this is not an organized group. Personally, I have banned this kind of trips to Edirne, which were organized by our retirement clubs, as I think it is undesirable to travel in conditions of increased coronavirus cases, ”Karnobat Mayor Georgi Dimitrov told our team.

The serious accident blocked the Elhovo-Lesovo highway, which was closed for more than 6 hours, and cars were redirected to alternative routes.
