–There is a lot of speculation in the media about the incident on the Struma Motorway. There are no eyewitnesses in the case, and there are already more than 20 in the media, said Deputy Chief Prosecutor Borislav Sarafov.
“Witnesses were questioned in the case, as well as two of the survivors of the tragic night. They were awake and their testimonies completely overlapped. Two more of the victims are being questioned, who are in shock but will be able to testify today.”

The best experts are hired and hired complex expertise and such for the cause of the fire, commented the Deputy Chief Prosecutor.
DNA will identify the victimsis, and the bodies will be returned to loved ones.
The fire was not caused by tubes of flammable liquid. There were tubes with traces of oil, but not gasoline.
The version of a terrorist act has also been studied, after careful examination, the possibility was rejected.
The guardrail on site is dangerous for traffic, Deputy Chief Prosecutor Borislav Sarafov was categorical.
The Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev ordered an inspection of the SAC to check the road markings and signaling signs on all highways in our country.
I saw the piled and charred corpses and body parts. The view will stay with me for a lifetime. It was harder to visit the survivors in Pirogov. All the victims were in good condition, but mentally it was very difficult. We asked all the victims what they needed, they only wanted to know how the children, their husbands, their parents were, but they were among the corpses, said the spokesman for the prosecutor’s office.
The man who broke the glass through which the survivors escaped, stated categorically that 8 people were saved, but only 7 were in hospital. Siika Mileva announced that search operations had begun.
According to Sarafov, the above is a mystery because there are 44 corpses. Witnesses revealed that there was an exchange of passengers between the buses at gas stations, and this is being investigated by comparing the lists.
