The latest road accident took place at the exit of Burgas in the direction of "Meden Rudnik" and Sozopol this afternoon. Shortly after 3:30 p.m. in the section near the commercial buildings in the southern industrial zone, a light vehicle with a Burgas registration crashed into a moving truck in front of it and remained across the lane. In clear weather and dry asphalt, the impact was strong enough to turn the front of the car into a pile of crushed sheet metal.
The images from the scene show a completely destroyed front - there is no bumper, there are no headlights, and the radiator and structural elements of the car are exposed in the middle of the road. The front right wheel is rotated at an unnatural angle, which clearly suggests that the machine cannot move on its own. Around it - a field of scattered plastic and metal debris, which the law enforcement officers carefully collect in order to free at least part of the lanes.
The reaction of the "Traffic Police" was instantaneous. Several patrol cars with flashing lights blocked the section and redirected traffic to only one lane in the direction of Sozopol. The cones in the middle of the road mark the place of the collision, and the police officers in bright vests give signals to the drivers to slow down and pass carefully. As a result, a kilometer-long column quickly formed on the track, in which the cars crawl in first gear, and the drivers patiently wait to go around the crashed car and the stopped truck.
According to initial data, there are no seriously injured - the driver of the light vehicle is in contact and examined on the spot by medics, and further examinations are expected if necessary. The official cause of the accident has not yet been announced, but the logical versions point to inappropriate speed and short distance in the intense afternoon traffic on the road to Sozopol and "Meden Rudnik". While the inspection is underway and the wrecked vehicles are being towed away from the lane, the police are urging drivers to avoid the section or pass with increased attention - another reminder that the mistake at the wheel often happens in seconds, but the consequences remain for a long time.
