A taxi traveling at high speed broke through the safety barrier of a bridge over Bakyrеna Fabrika in Sofia and overturned onto its roof in a grassy area. The incident occurred in the capital’s Nadezhda district and was captured in video footage circulated on social media.
The footage shows the yellow vehicle leaving the roadway on a sharp bend before the descent from the bridge toward the neighborhood. The car goes through the protective barrier, falls into the grass and overturns.
There is currently no information about injuries in the crash.
The Sofia directorate of the Interior Ministry said the surviving driver refused a roadside alcohol and drug test. He did provide a blood sample, however.
Over the previous 24 hours, 20 road accidents were recorded across the country, leaving 24 people injured. Sofia registered one serious and 33 minor crashes, with one person injured in the incidents.
Since the beginning of the month, road crashes have killed 48 people and injured 732. Since the start of the year, 411 people have died on the roads and more than 7,130 have been injured.
