l The court questioned 7 witnesses
The smell of gasoline emanated from Milen Tsvetkov’s car.
l The testimonies of most of them differ from what Christian Nikolov’s friends said
I’m fine, Milen Tsvetkov told passersby who rushed to help him after the accident. Then he nodded and started to leave. A young man unbuckled his seat belt, buckled it up and got him out of the car. The airbag did not open.
This was told by eyewitnesses to the tragedy in which the journalist died at Easter last year. On Friday, 7 witnesses were questioned at the Sofia Municipal Court. The defendant is Christian Nikolov, 23, who was driving the powerful jeep that crashed into Milen Tsvetkov’s Subaru.
After he was taken out of the car, passersby accompanied the journalist to the sidewalk and gave him water. It began to swell and suffocate.
They were afraid that he would swallow his tongue and take him to bed.
Some witnesses explained that they put his head in an envelope. Others say that Christian himself took off his shoe to put it under the journalist’s neck. His fiancee Simona, who was riding in the jeep, said the same thing Tuesday. He also explained that Christian gave Tsvetkov artificial respiration.
“No one else did it except the doctors,” some witnesses explained Friday. They saw that after the impact, Christian got out of the jeep vigorously and started looking for something in the back seat.
According to others, however, Christian took off his shoe and put it under Milen’s head. He gave him a heart massage and artificial respiration, but said nothing because he was in shock.
In court, some witnesses compared the hit to the bomb.
The jeep dragged Milen Tsvetkov’s car a few meters. He turned and stopped in the middle of the lane. The smell of gasoline emanated from Milen Tsvetkov’s car.
“It is good that there were no children in the back seat, otherwise they would not be alive. The back of the Subaru was missing,” said a witness who came to the rescue.
The spouses who went for a walk with their children were also questioned in court. They stopped at a traffic light to turn left at the red light on Srebarna Street. Suddenly they heard a terrible collision.
They then saw the car stay in the middle of the lane and a jeep flew into them at high speed, crashing into the metal fence at the intersection. Part of the powerful vehicle landed on the road and the other part was left on the sidewalk with pedestrians.
The woman called 112 at 6.15 pm According to her, the young men in Christian’s jeep were getting in and out of the car, looking for something.
A man was also questioned who opened the two right doors of the auditorium to help Christian’s two companions, Georgi Ivanov and Simona, out. According to him, when the police arrived, they asked him for the young man’s documents. He did not find them.
The taxi driver, who was standing at the crossroads in the middle lane next to Milen Tsvetkov’s car, explained that the front and rear right windows of his car were smashed by the heavy impact.
Christian’s neighbor was among the witnesses questioned. The two did not know each other personally. He said that on April 18, the day before the fatal incident, he heard loud music from Christian’s home. He told the magistrates that many times the neighbors reported the case to the police due to the loud music from the student’s house. The festivities died down when Christian Nikolov was abroad, where he studied.
