At least twelve people have died when fifty cars collided with each other in heavy fog on the Bulgarian motorway

A tragic multi-vehicle accident in Bulgaria resulted in twelve fatalities and over fifty injuries due to dense fog. The incident occurred on the A1 highway, linking Sofia and Burgas, starting with a collision between a bus and a truck. Following this, more than fifty vehicles were involved in the crash. Authorities attribute the accident primarily to the foggy conditions. Bulgarian President Rumen Radev described the event as a tragedy and plans to visit the site. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, currently in Bulgaria, expressed her condolences and announced a shortened visit due to the incident.
