Over 150 km per hour was the speed at which the jeep of the dead 22-year-old driver entered the intersection of "Ruski" Blvd. in Plovdiv on the fateful May 13.
The calculations are made by the engineers from the municipal enterprise, BNT reported.
Two people - 21 and 20 years old died in a serious accident around 3:30 a.m. on “Ruski“ Blvd., near the intersection with “6th September“ Blvd.
The driver who died in the serious accident in Plovdiv had a license for three years and 16 violations of the Road Traffic Act. This was announced to journalists by chief inspector Krasimir Neshev, head of the "Road Police" - Plovdiv.
Over the years, the boy was issued five reports for establishing administrative violations, ten slips for minor violations and one electronic slip for exceeding the permitted speed by 21 km, for which he was fined per slip in the amount of BGN 100. added Neshev. Four of the acts are for not using a seat belt while driving and one act has been drawn up for causing a traffic accident as a result of not keeping a safe distance. His violations are generally those committed by a driver on the road, with the only difference being that they are a little more, commented the head of the "Traffic Police".
In response to a question, Neshev confirmed that the mother of the dead driver was an employee of the "Traffic Police", but the car he was driving was not their property, BTA specified. It is registered to a Sofia company, specifying why it was at the young man's place. At the moment, no involvement of third parties has been established. Shortly before the accident, it was raining quite heavily, the road was wet and driving at a speed inconsistent with the road conditions led to this accident, said Neshev. In his words "Traffic Police" never for a moment did they stop controlling the road. The inspector urged drivers to take driving seriously and to know that a momentary mistake, a temporary lack of concentration on the road, can be fatal.
In the case, an inspection was carried out, the established witnesses were questioned, chemical examinations were appointed, an auto technical examination is to be appointed, numerous physical evidences were seized, said the supervising prosecutor from the District Prosecutor's Office - Plovdiv Boris Mihov. The speed at which the car was driven has not been established at this time.
