Two Bulgarians Die in Road Accident in Hungary

Sofia, August 27 (BTA) - Two Bulgarian nationals died and another two Bulgarians were injured in an August 26 traffic accident on Route M16 in Hungary near Rajka, the point where the borders of Hungary, Austria and Slovakia meet, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry reported on Saturday. The crash was reported by the Hungarian police to the Bulgarian Embassy in Budapest.

It occurred when the Bulgarians' passenger car crashed with a Polish-registered tourist bus. The casualties were a 47-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman. The injured victims are both female and both 25 years old. They were taken to a hospital in Gyor.

The news came just hours after another report about a collision in Hungary involving Bulgarians. In that case, a Bulgarian-registered Mercedes and a German-registered Ford crashed on Route M5. The Bulgarian vehicle had pulled over to the emergency stopping lane to repair a tyre when the Ford ran into it. No one died, but one passenger in the Mercedes and four passengers in the Ford were injured.
