Morning traffic in the capital was interrupted by a severe road traffic accident that claimed the life of one passenger and left others in critical condition. The incident occurred at the strategic intersection between "Konstantin Velichkov" and "Vuzrazhdane" boulevards, turning into another tragedy on city roads.

According to initial data from local authorities, a passenger car catastrophically deviated from its planned route and collided head-on with public transport. The uncontrolled vehicle failed to perform a correct maneuver, which led to fatal consequences.

Among the victims, a Syrian citizen was identified who lost his life during the incident. The bus driver and conductor were transported to the Military Medical Academy with serious injuries, which further aggravates the dramatic scene.

Currently, competent authorities are conducting a thorough examination of the accident site. The roadway is being cleaned through a specialized procedure, involving abundant washing with water and treatment with chemical solutions. This is necessary due to the significant amount of motor oil spilled from both vehicles.

The circumstances surrounding the passengers in the passenger car still remain unclear, which raises additional questions among investigators. In-depth studies are pending to establish the exact cause of the accident.

This incident once again draws attention to road safety and the need for increased caution among drivers in busy urban areas.
