Balgarianovinite.com In 2024, 478 people were killed and 9,054 injured in 7,173 serious traffic accidents in Bulgaria, the National Center of Public Health and Analyses (NCPHA) reported on its website on Thursday. Every year, Bulgaria joins the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, which is observed every third Sunday in November, which in 2025 falls on November 16.
The NCPHA wrote: “The consequences of serious road accidents worldwide are immeasurable when it comes to human life. Each such loss changes destinies, and the consequences are irreparable not only for the relatives of the victims but also for society as a whole. Of all causes of death worldwide, road accidents remain the leading cause of premature death among children and young people, and this trend is persistent and alarming.”
According to data from the Ministry of Interior published on Saturday, since the beginning of November there have been 237 accidents with 21 fatalities and 299 injured people. Since the start of the year, there have been 5,869 road accidents with 394 fatalities and 7,310 injured.
The Road Safety Report for 2024 shows that despite strategic efforts and some positive trends, road traffic injuries in the country remain at an unacceptably high level, the State Agency Road Safety reported on August 1, 2025. Poor enforcement of measures and insufficient commitment to prevention by institutions are the main reasons for this.
Car traffic continues to grow, with a 14.4% increase in mileage compared to 2019, which increases pressure on the road system and the risk of accidents. Although the number of fatalities has decreased by 9% compared to 2023 and by 23.9% compared to 2019, there has been an increase in serious accidents with casualties and severe injuries. 478 Die in Traffic Accidents on Bulgarian Roads in 2024 2025 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2025-11-16 09:24:53 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
