A 13-year-old child was hit by a car in Harmanli while riding an electric scooter. He was admitted to a hospital in Haskovo with a life-threatening condition, and later had to be transported to the capital's emergency hospital "Pirogov". His 15-year-old companion was also injured. The 22-year-old driver of the car was not drunk or drugged.
„The boy arrived at us with polytrauma and traumatic shock. We stabilized him. We saw that there was intracerebral hemorrhage, skull fractures, chest and abdominal injuries and a contused lung”, specified Dr. Georgi Nikolov, who admitted the child to the Intensive Care Unit in Haskovo.
"It is still not clear whether the car hit the scooter the children were riding on, or whether they fell under it", specified Senior Inspector Stefan Simeonov from the “Traffic Police” in Haskovo.
