Title: Tragic Accident Claims Life of 18-Year-Old in Bulgaria; Five Horses Die

In a devastating incident, a young life was lost, and five horses perished on the road between Kюstenдил and the village of Ябълково in Bulgaria.

The horrific crash occurred in the early hours of this morning, around 1:00 AM, when a light vehicle struck a herd of five horses that had wandered onto the road. An 18-year-old girl lost her life in the collision, while two other teenagers, aged 18 and 19, were hospitalized. The 19-year-old was rushed to "Pirogov" hospital in critical condition.

The incident has left the local community in shock. The horses’ owner has been identified and detained. He attributed the tragic event to the low-height electrical fencing that the animals managed to escape from. A pre-trial investigation has been launched under the supervision of Kюstenдил District Prosecutor’s Office.

Residents of the city and surrounding villages have gathered outside theCAT building in Kюstenдил, demanding immediate action to prevent such incidents in the future. In response to the accident, local authorities have cancelled a scheduled kUKER festival that was set to take place today.

This stretch of road has been the scene of similar incidents in the past, raising concerns about safety measures and prevention strategies. The community is pushing for urgent solutions to ensure the safety of both motorists and livestock in the area.
