The lanes in which a truck crushed and killed pedestrians were parked incorrectly

An auto-technical examination is yet to clarify whether the 22-year-old driver was driving at an excessive speed in urban conditions

The lanes in which a truck trapped and killed pedestrians were parked improperly on a sidewalk. This was announced at a briefing by the deputy head of the “Traffic Police” in Burgas Konstantin Vangelov.

We remind you that a 22-year-old driver with a year and 3 months experience behind the wheel ran over two pedestrians on Thursday morning in Burgas. The serious road accident that killed a family from the "Dolno Ezerovo" neighborhood took place in the Northern industrial zone of the city. A light truck hit and killed a man and a woman on their way to work. Their colleague was injured.

Auto-technical expertise is yet to specify whether the 22-year-old driver was driving at an excessive speed in urban conditions. Two of the young driver's three recorded offenses were for improper parking. He is detained for up to 24 hours. His detention is expected to be extended and he will be charged.

Relatives of those who died in the road accident contacted NOVA and wished to stand in front of the camera of “Hello, Bulgaria”. Marin Zlatev is the brother of the deceased woman. He emphasized that he is seeking justice for the murder of his sister and brother-in-law. His fears are that if the driver is released, he may abscond.

„It is not true that he was intercepted by another truck. I went to the enterprise and his boss told me that he saw what happened on the cameras. There is no detection of the car. "He was playing with the phone," said the brother of one of the victims in the accident. “He will be released and go home to his relatives, but my aunt to me – no”, Daniela Ivanova, who is the niece of the dead woman, said through tears.
