Accident with military trucks on road E-79 between Vratsa and Mezdra. The incident happened around 8 am. There were no injuries.
A car accompanied by military police was traveling in the direction of Sofia, but the road was icy and a car swerved in front of the convoy. The first two military trucks managed to avoid the collision, but the third one hit the barrier.
“We were accompanied by military police, a car swerved in front of us, it was the third car. The road is icy, he went off the road and hit the barrier,” explained Major Lubomil Tsvetanov.
The driver of the truck was not injured, but because of the accident, a kilometer-long traffic jam was formed in the direction of Sofia.
While the operation to remove and clean the road lasted, the convoy of cars moved through the junction to Moravica.
Shortly after the military truck was pulled out, about 500 meters away, but in the direction of Vratsa, a heavy truck lost control again due to the ice and crashed.
The tire, loaded with coconut oil for Germany and the Netherlands, rolls over, hits the dividing barrier, but manages to come to a stop on the side.
The driver’s swab test was negative. Police were directing traffic because a large amount of oil had leaked onto the road.
