Two young men from the village of Cherni Vrah crashed on the Varna-Burgas road on Friday evening when their car hit a tree beside the road, police said.

The crash happened shortly after 7pm, in the dark, near the 207km mark. A 19-year-old was driving the Peugeot. Police say he was speeding, lost control and ran into the tree.

On 2 November we reported on another 19-year-old driver who hit the concrete wall of a petrol station on the main Varna-Burgas road in Nesebar municipality. He lost control because he was going too fast for the conditions, and was taken to hospital in Burgas with a chest bruise.

The driver was not hurt. The passenger, 18, also from Cherni Vrah, has minor injuries. Doctors in Burgas examined him and sent him home to recover.
