“The driver may have had a heart attack”, Bulgarian journalist talks about the accident in Bulgaria

“45 casualties. Most were from the village of Studencan in the vicinity of Skopje. Seven survivors are in Sofia hospital and are out of danger for life, Dimitrova said.

We haven't seen such a tragic accident in recent years. It happened for a few seconds after the fire was so powerful that it burned the entire bus in less than a minute. The seven people who have managed to escape have broken glass on the back of the bus and gone. The victims were mainly from the front of the bus, she explained about RTK.

“identification of the victims will be made according to DNA data and data that will be obtained from family”, she added.

Many family members have come to Sofia and are looking for information. We have heard very painful stories, so even in Bulgaria we will have a day of mourning, Dimitrova said.

The estimates have two versions of this tragedy. One is human error and second technical irregularities. The bus was stopped 20 minutes before the accident on a gas pump, and there was no way he could rest. Several shifts have taken place during the rest of the fuel pump, some people could switch from one bus to another because they are talking about a number of buses they passed at the same time. It will take several days to confirm the identity of the victims to be made according to DNA data”, she stressed.

The location where the accident occurred is always required to drive slowly and is most dangerous at night. There are also suggestions that the bus has exploded its tire or even that the driver may have had heart problems, may have had heart attacks, and perhaps the bus has given enough rest”, she stressed.

These are all speculations, we can't say anything with certainty”, Dimitrova added.

There could be oil canisters on buses. Oil is more expensive in Turkey than in Bulgaria, she confirmed.
