At least 12 people died in a traffic collision involving dozens of vehicles on both sides of a foggy stretch of highway in south-eastern Bulgaria. The country's prime minister, Rumen Radev, described the crash as a 'tragedy', and said that he had deployed aircraft to evacuate the wounded. The secretary general of the interior ministry, Lyubomir Nikolov, said fog was the likely cause of the pile-up, which started with a collision between a bus and a truck on the side of the highway heading towards Burgas
