The condition of the Romanian man injured in the pileup that occurred Tuesday on Bulgaria’s Trakia motorway has worsened. The man is hospitalized at Burgas Hospital, is on mechanical ventilation, and remains in critical condition.

Doctors announced that the patient’s lung function deteriorated overnight, against the backdrop of severe chest trauma. He suffered serious injuries in the chest area, and his lungs were affected. The Intensive Care Unit team intervened quickly and managed to stabilize his condition, but the prognosis remains guarded.

The accident occurred Tuesday morning on the Trakia motorway, which connects Sofia to Burgas. Approximately 70 vehicles were involved in the pileup. The toll announced by the authorities is 12 dead and approximately 51 injured, several of them in serious condition.

Eleven injured people were hospitalized at a hospital in Yambol, while the others were transported to medical facilities in Burgas and Sliven. A Romanian driver was detained after the accident but was released on Wednesday. His employer claims that he did not cause the tragedy and that he helped several people after the impact.

Wednesday was declared a national day of mourning in Bulgaria, and several official events were canceled. Authorities continue their investigation to determine the causes of the worst road pileup recorded in the country so far.

Context: Carambolul de pe autostrada Trakia a fost inițial tratat ca un șir de impacturi favorizate de ceață, iar autoritățile au început ancheta imediat

În primele relatări, accidentele în lanț de pe autostrada Trakia (în apropierea localității Yambol/Iambol, între nodurile Zimnița și Kabile) s-au produs pe fondul ceții dense, iar în cele două coliziuni au fost implicate 86 de vehicule: 63 pe sensul către Burgas și 23 pe sensul către Sofia. Autoritățile au arătat că tragedia s-a soldat cu 11 morți și peste 70 de răniți, intervențiile mobilizând rapid poliția, pompierii și echipaje medicale din mai multe regiuni.

Tot în primele ore și zile, poliția bulgară a reținut un șofer român, suspectat că ar fi fost la volanul camionului implicat în coliziunea inițială; el a fost audiat, iar ulterior anchetatorii au dispus și o nouă audiere în prezența unui interpret, cerând expertize suplimentare pentru a stabili exact cum s-a produs primul impact și dacă vehiculul sau manevrele șoferului au contribuit la declanșarea carambolului. În paralel, oficiali români au transmis mesaje de condoleanțe și au anunțat că Ministerul Afacerilor Externe este pregătit să acorde asistență consulară.
