Bulgaria Vitinya Tunnel crash
Baku, December 3 (AZERTAC). Road traffic has been restored in the Vitinya Tunnel on Bulgaria`s Hemus Highway linking the north and south, after a chain crash of some 20 vehicles blocked the artery Saturday.
A large freight truck slid and crashed in the tunnel, after which two further trucks slammed into it, causing a chain traffic crash involving 15 further personal automobiles.
Two persons have been reported hurt in the accident, but the level of their injuries has not been revealed.
A large line formed at the site of the accident, and traffic was temporarily diverted to the old narrow and winding road through Vitinya Pass.
