New Severe Crash Near Dupnitsa: Ministry of Interior Tightens Road Control
A severe crash at the exit of the town of Dupnitsa claimed the lives of two people and left three injured. The incident occurred in the late hours of the day and once again brought the issue of safety on Bulgarian roads to the fore.
The report of the accident was filed with the police shortly after 7:00 PM. According to initial information, two people died at the scene during the collision. The three injured were immediately transported to the nearest hospital, where doctors are fighting for their lives. The police are still investigating the exact causes of the incident.
