Prosecutors charged the truck driver
“We stopped twice to take other people. Most of the time I was asleep and I don’t remember how it happened. I see the driver for the first time. My colleague traveled with him, everything was fine. I think he was driving normally, but the road itself it was pretty bad, “Romina Mihaylova, 22, who went to the Friday market in Edirne with her mother, told BTV.
According to her, the bus passengers were not wearing seat belts and the road was very uneven.
She wakes up from the fatal blow. Her mother manages to get her out of the truck.
Yesterday, 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. The bus driver and two other men were killed instantly. Everyone else is injured.
Meanwhile, the prosecution detained the driver of the van for 72 hours and he was charged, Nova TV reported.
Today, the measure of detention of the driver of the heavy truck with Ukrainian license plate was extended to 72 hours. Bekian Octavian, 51, has been charged with causing a car accident that killed more than one person.
“The evidence gathered so far clearly shows that the truck, which is a road train with a trailer and a tractor, was practically parked on the road. At the time of the accident there was no reason for this freight train to be at this location, ”explained supervising prosecutor Milen Bozhidarov.
The fact that the driver falls asleep is probably the reason why the machine stays on the road and is overtaken by several trucks. According to the law, a prison sentence of 5 to 20 years is foreseen for the crime committed.
On Tuesday, prosecutors will petition the court for a permanent arrest warrant.
