At that moment, fuel was poured out after heating worked on the bus. There has been a fire, and there has been a fatal accident for passengers returning from Istanbul to Skopje. The fire has fallen on the front of the bus and is therefore completely burned in front. These details were discovered in a statement for Bulgarian National Television by Vasko Pirgov, who is an expert on internal burn engines and was among the first to arrive in the fatal circuit in the morning. According to him, the driver's front seats had oil - filled pipes, and the explosion occurred.
The fire is caused by a human error of the driver who's been watching the road. There's a fountain where people in need stop, it's for rest, it has some of these locations and it's surrounded by rails. Entering the sidewalk, the driver strikes and breaks the sign that he has fountains. That mark has flown about 35 meters. The bus must have traveled more than 100 miles an hour. There is no trace of bus curbing, so the driver has not responded positively to”, said Vasko Pirgov, an expert on internal combustion engines.
The investigation into Bulgarian authorities should clear the causes of fire and the fatal tragedy that shocked the two countries. Macedonia's police have joined the investigation.
The Interior Ministry, head of the assistant director of the uniformed police and consisting of representatives of the Road Police Department and the Technical- Legal Research Department, is already on its way to Bulgaria and is available to help and support Bulgarian colleagues. I expect quick and comprehensive responses from competent service”, Minister of Internal Affairs Oliver Spasovski wrote on Facebook.
Prime Minister Zoran Zaev and his Bulgarian counterpart, Stefan Janev, today did not provide information about the causes of the accident where 45 passengers lost their lives, which were returning from Turkey. Both prime ministers have said this will be determined by the authorities in the investigation. /Alsat. mk
