The Road Management in Yambol reported a serious traffic accident on the "Trakia" highway, which requires urgent measures to regulate traffic. The chain collision forced the responsible services to take immediate actions to redirect heavy vehicles on a bypass route.

According to initial information, the incident occurred in a section with intense traffic, which further complicates the situation for drivers. Experts from the road management are working on organizing alternative road routes to minimize difficulties for traffic participants.

Parallel to this, another emergency event is happening in a neighboring district. The Mayor of Strumyani Municipality, Emil Iliev, reported the evacuation of five people from a villa zone above Ilindentsi village. Although no details have been provided about the reasons for the evacuation, this further illustrates the complex operational situation in the region.

Transport authorities call on drivers to be extremely careful and monitor current information about road conditions. The use of alternative routes and increased caution when passing through affected sections is recommended.

At the moment, no data on serious human casualties have been reported, but the material damages from the chain collision are significant. Road police and emergency service teams are working on clearing the roadway and restoring normal traffic.
