At least 45 people die after bus crashes in flames in Bulgaria

At least 45 people, including 12 children, died as a bus carrying mostly North Macedonian tourists crashed in flames on a highway in western Bulgaria on Tuesday, officials said.

The cause of the accident was unclear but the bus appeared to have hit a highway barrier either before or after it caught fire, Bulgarian officials said.“We have an enormous tragedy here,” Bulgarian interim Prime Minister Stefan Yanev told reporters.“The picture is terrifying, terrifying. I have never seen anything like that before,” he told reporters at the site.

“Human mistake by the driver or a technical malfunction are the two initial versions for the accident,” he said.North Macedonian Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani said the coach party was returning to Skopje from a weekend holiday trip to Istanbul.
