Early on the morning of 15/8, at an intersection in Sofia, a bus stopped at a red light behind two cars. Suddenly, a car sped from the opposite direction, crossed several lanes, jumped the median, and crashed directly into the bus.

The high-speed impact caused the car to pierce through the bus, lodging itself inside. The accident killed one bus passenger. Six others were injured, including the 21-year-old car driver, who suffered a broken arm. A young woman in the car and the bus driver were seriously injured.

The car is believed to have been traveling at speeds up to 170 km/h. Tests showed that neither driver was under the influence of alcohol or other substances.

The Sofia Department of Transportation said that after the accident, a section of the bus had to be cut away to remove the car. The bus's passenger compartment was completely destroyed and beyond repair.
