A Mercedes crashed into a café at a gas station in the Lyulin Quarter of the Bulgarian Sofia Saturday afternoon.
No one has been injured but much of the café is destroyed as the car stopped when it hit the bar, dir.bg reported.
The accident happened after the driver, who was headed from the downtown to the Lyulin Quarter, figured out that the brakes of the car don't function as he was coming out of a road tunnel leading to Lyulin.
In order to prevent a crash with other cars, the driver turned towards the gas station where the car crashed into the café.
Another accident with a Mercedes happened in Bulgaria's Plovdiv Saturday afternoon after a driver decided to cross before the red traffic light went on, and hit an ambulance transporting a pregnant woman; there have been no casualties as a result, and the woman has been taken safely to the hospital where she gave birth to a healthy child.
