Plovdiv, Bulgaria — A severe single-vehicle crash involving an SUV and a trailer carrying two motorcycles caused temporary traffic congestion on the "Trakia" motorway near Plovdiv. The incident, which fortunately resulted in no injuries, occurred at the 142nd kilometer on the carriageway heading towards Burgas.
Details of the incident
According to information from the Plovdiv police, the SUV, which was towing a platform with two motorcycles, suddenly lost control and crashed heavily into the guardrail on the side of the road.
