Witnesses told Telma Television that the situation around the tragedy was terrible. Even before the arrival of the Rapid Assistance teams, the indigenous people helped the victims.
"A tough night full of great pain and sadness. I have no words that can be enough comforting for the families of our fellow citizens who have tragically lost their lives tonight in the severe crash, "Prime Minister Zoran Zaev said. He is expected today to visit the wounded at the accident.
