Multiple-Vehicle Pile-Ups on Foggy Bulgarian Highway Kill Dozens, Injure Many
A series of pile-ups involving over 50 vehicles occurred on a foggy highway near Yambol in southeastern Bulgaria, killing between 10 and 12 people and injuring around 46 to 50 others. The crashes, likely caused by dense fog and poor visibility, involved cars, trucks, and buses on both sides of the highway connecting Sofia and Burgas. Emergency services prioritized rescue operations, with some victims evacuated by aircraft. Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev called the incident a "tragedy," and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen cut short her visit to pay respects.
