A dramatic surge in the number of serious road accidents was registered in Bulgaria in the last 24 hours.
According to data from the Ministry of Interior, a total of 26 serious accidents left 37 injured.
The scale of the tragedy is shocking and casts a shadow over road safety in the country.
The situation is particularly alarming, given the fact that such accidents often lead to permanent injuries, forever changing the lives of the victims and their families.
Sofia
The capital Sofia was not spared.
24 minor road accidents were registered here, but also three serious accidents, resulting in the injury of five people.
The sight of damaged cars, sirens, and emergency teams working under pressure _ this is only a small part of the picture that probably unfolded before many Sofia residents in the last 24 hours.
Statistics
Unfortunately, the brutal statistics do not end there.
Since the beginning of the year, 308 people have already lost their lives on the roads.
This is a horrifying figure that speaks for itself about the need for serious changes and measures to improve road safety.
Comparison with the data for the same period of 2024 _ 323 victims _ shows that although there is a slight decrease in the number of deaths (15 fewer in 2025), the situation remains critical and requires immediate action.
Serious accident in Sofia
A tragic confirmation of this bleak statistic arrived today from the capital.
A report from a BTA reporter reports a serious accident on "Dragan Tsankov" boulevard in Sofia, in which, unfortunately, there is a fatality.
The details of the incident are still being clarified, but the report itself is enough to highlight the seriousness of the problem.
A thorough investigation into the causes of the accident is necessary to take effective measures to prevent such tragedies in the future.
Road safety is not just statistics _ it is a matter of human lives.
