Marian Marinov, interim director of Bulgaria's National Investigation Service, stated that the investigation into the Trakia highway accident will be complex due to its unprecedented scale. The incident resulted in 12 fatalities and around 50 injuries, including a critically injured Romanian citizen. The chain collisions involved 86 vehicles and occurred in foggy conditions, complicating the determination of individual culpability. Investigators will assess each driver's actions and the road conditions, while also examining the technical aspects of the collisions. Initial suspicions against a Romanian truck driver were dismissed, as the accident was primarily caused by a bus that failed to slow down in the fog.
