After the accident with a dead driver at the railway crossing between Plachkovtsi and Tryavna stations, the local authority in the area insists on light signaling. The car crossed a prohibited signal when an international train hit it, NOVA reported.
A woman who was injured was also traveling with the man.
„There is no white light, but there is a “stop” sign. The crossing was inspected by the representatives of the national company “Railway Infrastructure”, a representative of the police and the municipality of Tryavna. We found that they have a recommendation for an automatic drop beam barrier. The sign is very rarely observed. This is the second incident in a year. We will demand that what the commission has recommended be implemented," commented the mayor of Tryavna, Nencho Minev.
