With road expertise from three organizations we set off on the fatal route.
“There are nice markings in the middle and the missing department, as well as missing cat’s eyes,” says Diana Rusinova.
Under these conditions, the driver of the crashed bus is driving at least 20 km from the highway, experts say. And they detect deformations and collapses in the pavement.
The team does not show up on one of the most dangerous sections of the highway – unregulated entrance and exit for trucks from the quarry.
We also get to the closest possible point to the crash site. According to various experts who have seen different places of the accident, there is a braking distance.
“The actions of the driver are estimated that he fought to the last to save the situation and after hitting the guardrail on the right, after a flat tire, split the tank,” said Rumen Dunev.
For now, the official authorities and the investigation in Bulgaria are cautious about the version of events. Expect more light around the investigation to be flooded tomorrow.
