Observer Online Report

At least 12 people were killed and around 50 others injured in a massive road accident caused by dense fog in eastern Bulgaria. The injured were rescued and taken to different hospitals, Reuters reported.

More than 50 cars and trucks were involved in a pile-up on the country's A1 motorway on Tuesday.

According to Bulgaria's Interior Ministry, the accident began when a bus collided with a truck amid poor visibility caused by dense fog.

Police officers, firefighters and ambulance crews rushed to the scene after receiving reports of the crash.

Video footage showed several vehicles severely mangled, while some had veered off the road. Authorities feared that several people might still be trapped inside the wreckage.

Describing the incident as a tragic accident, Bulgaria's prime minister ordered the deployment of air ambulances to ensure the injured were taken to hospitals quickly.

Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed her condolences over the deaths.
