Several accidents blocked traffic on the Trakia highway towards Burgas. They happened mostly in the Plovdiv section of the highway.
Burgas side traffic through the Trakia highway is temporarily restricted, as the traffic is on a detour route – “Vojvodinovo” road junction – I-8 Plovdiv road – “Chirpan” road junction, explained the Ministry of Interior and API. In one of the accidents, only material damage was reported, for the second one, two people were injured, and for the third one, there is no more detailed information at this stage. At one point, the traffic column was about 8 km. Later, normalization of traffic began.
The Roads Infrastructure Agency and the Ministry of Home Affairs warned motorists to drive with caution and an appropriate speed.

The Ministry of the Interior explained that the traffic was restricted in the speed lane due to a road accident, in which there was only material damage. Traffic in the area was regulated by the “Traffic Police”, but the restrictions were lifted again.
