Heavy Snowfall in Sofia: Over 170 Snowplows in Operation, Bus Lines Suspended
Over 170 snow removal machines are actively working across all 24 districts of Sofia as the city continues to experience heavy snowfall
Two people were injured in a collision between a bus and a truck on the Hemus Highway near the Vitinya Tunnel this morning. The crash occurred around 9:15 AM in the direction toward Sofia, causing a traffic jam that stretched for over a kilometer. Emergency services responded quickly, sending two ambulances to the scene.
The injured included the bus driver, a man in his 50s, who sustained a head injury, and an 18-year-old woman who suffered broken teeth. Other passengers were examined on-site and did not require hospitalization. Some chose to continue their journey to Sofia in their own vehicles.
While the accident has not completely blocked traffic, it has caused significant delays. At the time of the incident, traffic was being diverted to the overtaking lane near the 22nd kilometer of the Hemus Highway. Drivers are being urged to proceed with caution and at reduced speeds. The authorities have temporarily halted traffic in the area for an investigation, with an alternative route being provided. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
