In front of the middle door of the bus there is a burnt woman with two children in her arms, probably twins, investigators at the scene told our reporter.
They are currently checking for additional fuel – gasoline, because the diesel is difficult to explode, and the bus was diesel. One of the survivors told the Macedonian prime minister that they were awakened by a powerful explosion.
45 people were burned alive in a bus on the Struma Motorway at 2 o’clock this morning. They are Macedonians, mainly from Skopje.
A piece of rubber was found before the crash site. It probably exploded, the driver did not control the vehicle, it crashed into the guardrail. It is possible that the driver died in the collision, so he could not open the doors and many people were burned alive. The seven survivors broke a window and went out through it.
