The bus, which officials said had 52 people on board, mostly nationals of North Macedonia, was one of four returning from a trip to Istanbul. Turkey. It hit a highway guardrail in western Bulgaria, caught fire and was reduced to a charred shell. Officials said the passengers were trapped as both exits were blocked.
Speaking at a press conference in Sofia, Bulgaria's capital, Sarafov said that for the time being “the leading version is human error.” “Witnesses have said that immediately after the first hit fire broke out and the bus was quickly filled with smoke,” he said. Seven people are known to have survived - five citizens of North Macedonia, one Serb and one Belgian. They were taken to Sofia's Pirogov emergency hospital and are in stable condition.
Bulgarian Interior Minister Boyko Rashkov told reporters at the crash site Tuesday that he had never “seen something more horrifying.” The bodies have to be identified by DNA testing. In North Macedonia's capital of Skopje Wednesday, hundreds of elementary school pupils converged outside Ismail Qemali school to pay tribute to six classmates killed in the accident.
