Dozens gathered tonight in a protest in front of the Courthouse in Pleven demanding urgent road safety measures. The reason is the death of 12-year-old Siyana in an accident on the Telish - Radomirtsi road. The protest began with a minute of silence in memory of the deceased child.
4 days after the fatal accident near the Pleven village of Telish, the demands are for better quality roads and the resignations of the entire Management Board of the Road Infrastructure Agency (API).
In the studio of the show “This Morning“ on bTV Nikolay Popov, father of 12-year-old Siyana who died in the accident, also called for urgent measures from the institutions.
Earlier today, the National Investigation Service inspected the scene of the accident, experts conducted an investigative experiment.
Investigators entered the building of the Regional Road Administration in Pleven and demanded documents related to this section of the road. 90-60-70-60 - this is how the Road Agency edited the speed rules on the fatal road near Telish. The RIA explained that the situation is currently being refined, and the speed will be gradually reduced.
According to experts, however, road signs are not a sufficient measure to make this road section safer. The next protest demanding safer roads will be on Monday in front of the Courthouse in Sofia.
