A German citizen has been identified as one of the 8 people who perished in a hellish car crash in Bulgaria last Wednesday.

The information that a German woman has died in the crash was not revealed to the public until Monday, when the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency cited the country's Prosecutor's Office.

However, the German Embassy in Bulgaria was informed on Friday.

The Prosecutor's Office has explained the delay of their announcement with the fact that it was initially reported that Rumyana Rodriguez was among the victims, which prompted additional investigation. Rodriguez is confirmed as not being among the victims.

A total of 8 people perished and 18 were injured in a hellish crash early last Wednesday, when a bus, traveling from the capital Sofia to the Black Sea city of Burgas overturned on Trakiya highway, near the second largest city of Plovdiv.
