In Bulgaria, due to thick fog, dozens of cars and trucks collided on the highway - 12 people died, more than 50 were injured.
A major accident involving 86 vehicles occurred on the Thrace highway in southeastern Bulgaria, near the village of Zimanitsa in the Yambul region.
The Bulgarian government reported that 12 people died as a result of the accident, and another 51 people were injured. Health Minister Katya Ivkova added that ten people died on the spot, and two more died on the way to the hospital. The injured were taken to hospitals in the Yambol, Sullivan and Burgess areas.
Authorities tentatively point to poor visibility due to thick fog as the cause of the accident. It is also possible that the speed of the vehicles did not match the weather conditions.
On November 11, a nationwide mourning was announced in Bulgaria for the victims.
