The strong wind that blew up today after noon in Veliko Tarnovo knocked down a traffic light, the bTV correspondent in the region reported.

The incident occurred in the late afternoon in the area of the bridge in the “Assenov“ district, in the area of the “St. 40 Martyrs“ church. Miraculously, no one was injured, as traffic is usually intense on this road.

Due to hurricane winds with speeds of up to 122 km/h today in Ruse, a tree crashed into a stopped car. The driver had stopped to talk on the phone and was in the car. Luckily for him, the tree fell on the hood, and not a little further back – on the driver's seat.

A fallen tree due to the wind is also present at the Byala exit today, BTA reported.

A snowstorm, accompanied by hurricane-force winds, caused traffic difficulties on the republican and municipal road network in Razgrad.

Due to the strong wind and heavy wet snow, branches and trees have fallen in many places on the roadway. In the town of Kubrat, traffic is difficult at one of the entrance intersections in the town due to a fallen tree.

A yellow code for strong wind, rain and snow was in effect for the entire country today.
