GERB MP Desislava Taneva told reporters on Tuesday that driving conditions on the Trakia Motorway in the morning were extremely difficult, with very dense fog, and there were no additional warning signs or safety measures in place. Taneva was travelling on the motorway when two multi-vehicle pile-up collisions occurred, one on each side of the road, near the Zimnitsa junction in the vicinity of Yambol, leaving 11 people dead and close to 50 injured.
Taneva said: “I joined the Trakia Motorway shortly before 7 a.m. via the Yambol-Sliven road junction. Driving conditions were very difficult, with extremely dense fog. There were vehicles without the appropriate warning lights for such weather conditions, and drivers had to proceed very slowly and carefully. There were no additional warning signs or representatives of the various services who could have helped in such circumstances,” she said.
Taneva explained that she travels along this stretch of road every week in her own car. The competent authorities probably should have taken the necessary steps and introduced measures in preparation for the approaching autumn-winter season, she said.
“A day like today is not a day for political point-scoring. This is not the time to demand political resignations, but we must be very objective,” Taneva said.
She noted that crisis response teams and other measures were only put in place around midday, perhaps because the authorities had not expected such a tragic incident.
“Let us be objective. For six months, the debate here has been about the crash barriers, but the barriers remained intact in these accidents,” Taneva said, adding that political point-scoring only does harm. She said that the focus is on propaganda, while the things that actually need to be done are left undone.
She expressed her condolences to the relatives of those killed in the accidents.
Taneva said that she will personally donate blood for the injured. She had urged all her relatives who were able to do so to donate blood to help in this situation. “I have faith in the doctors. I read that Prof. Asen Baltov is travelling there. He is a doctor who was born to be a doctor. I have faith in the doctors at Sliven Hospital. I have received treatment there myself,” the MP added.
