A bus with migrants crashed near Breznik after hitting a police patrol car. More than 20 people were injured in the accident. The accident happened on Monday at noon at the entrance to the city. Civilians caught some of the migrants trying to escape and rescued two of the most seriously injured.
A piece of bread is the first meal for an unknown man from Afghanistan, who ended up in a pillow hospital after his bus, traveling to the border with Serbia, crashed. Traces of blood are clearly visible on his shoes.

“Many of them haven’t eaten for 4-5 days, haven’t had a chance to drink water in the next few days. They were in a miserable state – torn clothes, it is clear that people have been through a lot, because in order to rub your shoes like that, you have to walk for a long time”, said Dr. Dimo Dimov from the emergency department of the Pernik hospital.
Their journey ends in a ditch. The police received a tip-off that a bus was carrying illegal migrants and followed it. They meet at the entrance to the town of Breznik. The police try to stop the van, but it obeys and falls into the ravine.
“We heard police sirens, we saw the bus thrown into the river. We went to check for victims. The collision was quite strong, first we checked for victims, they started running and we caught them. They were scared and very weak. We caught the watering can with guys from the service station . The other irrigator caught the police,” explained Mikhail Mihailov, an eyewitness.
During the commotion, Valerie, a construction worker next door, sees hope for life in the bus. “That side door and the other one were pinched, I got in through a window with difficulty, I saw two – they weren’t moving. There was blood everywhere.”
Valerie breaks down the back door and takes out the unknown men. Now the doctors in “Pirogov” take care of them. “I hope they are alive and well, these people don’t run away from good things,” he said.
The driver is still being sought. “He’s definitely Bulgarian. It’s like this every day here, a border zone. It’s normal,” Mihailov added.
A bottle sticking out of the van probably served as an air duct for the 30 migrants traveling in the van.
