The car with a foreign license plate was parked in Strazhitsa, where the young man had been staying for some time with his grandfather.

Fate: people responded very quickly and started eliminating them, “the mayor said. Saturday night he was in the emergency room until 11pm.

Mayor Yordan Tsonev: Six people died on this road in a year and a half
On this road at the exit of the city 6 people died in a year and a little. It is government owned and in decent condition. In the spring we made a partial repair at our expense. About 20 days ago, the Regional Road Administration was also filling the potholes. Is there any sign.
This was stated by the mayor of Strazhitsa, Yordan Tsonev, and was motivated by the fact that all the deaths in accidents on this road were due to the impact of a tree.
“I will speak again with the head of the road administration of Veliko Tarnovo, Vencislav Angelov, to find a solution. As the mayor of this municipality, I am obliged to act, because it involves 6 people.
In July there was an accident between a car and a bus, in which a woman was killed and three others were injured. Last year, three young men from the village of Tsarski Izvor died on their way home from work in Lyaskovets.
It was 200 meters from the current impact, “said the mayor. According to him, the problem is shared by both the drivers themselves and the owners of the road and the police.
“Nobody should be blamed personally, our streets have turned into cemetery alleys. My opinion is that there should be no billboards or trees all along the streets, because if it is flat and bare, even if the car goes off the road. , there is nothing to bump into.
Here death is due to a blow to a tree. Its diameter is probably 80-90 cm.
The state does not have the possibility to put guardrails on all roads, but if we clean them of this vegetation, even in the event of an accident, there is nothing to bump into the car and the likelihood that the injured will be minor is very much major “., analyzed the mayor, who is a former policeman.
An initiative has already been taken to secure municipal roads. The equipment was purchased to clean them inside the servants.
