A 26-year-old British woman was involved in a serious accident near Burgas airport when she was struck by a car in the early hours of August 18. The incident took place at approximately 1:30 a.m. at a roundabout in the Sarafovo district, according to a report from "24 Chasa." The young woman was lying on the road when a car, driven by a 34-year-old man from Burgas, ran over her.
