An SUV and a bakery van crashed today at the junction of William Gladstone Street and San Stefano Boulevard in Burgas, witnesses said. Both vehicles are badly damaged and traffic at the junction is blocked. No injuries have been reported so far.

A failure to give way is named as the likely cause, but this has not been confirmed. It is raining in Burgas today, and the roads are wet and slippery.

The junction sits between the Vazrazhdane and Bratya Miladinovi neighbourhoods and is one of the city's trouble spots. Drivers have repeatedly crashed there over the years after failing to give way. Residents have been asking for traffic lights or a roundabout for years.
