title: Tragedies Collide: Fatal Car Accident Halts Kystendil’s Kucker Festival
article:
In a grim turn of events, a severe road accident occurred on the stretch between Kystendil and the village of Yablakovo around 1:00 AM on December 28, 2024. As reported by Nova TV, a light vehicle collided with five horses that were on the roadway.
The tragic outcome of this incident is the loss of an 18-year-old girl who was traveling in the car. Three to four passengers were rushed to the hospital, while all five horses lost their lives. The owner of the horses was identified and detained shortly after the incident.
The road in question has an electrical fence that is reportedly not high enough to deter animals from wandering onto the roadway. This tragic event led to the cancellation of the scheduled Kucker festival in Kystendil.
This is the latest in a series of highway tragedies, mirroring the recent incident that blocked the "Pетрохан" highway due to a motorcycle crash.
