Eleven people died and dozens were injured on Tuesday in a mass pileup on a motorway in southeastern Bulgaria, whose roads rank as the most dangerous in the EU.
Crashes in thick fog snared dozens of vehicles heading in both directions of the highway linking the capital Sofia to the Black Sea city of Burgas. An estimated 50 cars and trucks were involved in the accident near the city of Yambol, regional governor Georgi Chalakov told the BTA state news agency, as government officials rushed to the scene. Images showed overturned and smashed cars and trucks mangled together, and burnt-out vehicles. “The toll at this point is 11 dead and 48 injured,” Prime Minister Rumen Radev told reporters.
