“A Varna resident is in intensive care after his car split open when it hit a tree, pole, and underpass”, reported Dir.bg of an overnight crash in Varna.
A 25-year-old driver is in critical condition in intensive care with multiple fractures and a pneumothorax after his luxury car split in two during a high-speed crash on Saturday night, November 11. The incident occurred at approximately 23:00 local time on the boulevard running parallel to the Sea Garden in Varna, according to reports from [nova.bg].
Amateur video footage shared on social media captured the Maserati traveling at an extreme speed toward the city center just before the accident, [dir.bg] reported. Witnesses who crossed paths with the vehicle estimated its speed at no less than 150 kilometers per hour.
For reasons still under investigation, the driver lost control of the automobile near the Dolphinarium, according to the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior in Varna, as cited by [dir.bg]. The car struck a tree, hit a street lighting pole, ran through shrubbery and an accessible wheelchair ramp, and broke apart, with the front section flying off and plunging into a pedestrian underpass, [dir.bg] and [bntnews.bg] reported.
Following the collision, the vehicle’s engine ignited in flames, according to [bntnews.bg]. First responders rushed to the scene as the front half of the automobile came to rest in pieces inside the underpass.
Medical staff admitted the 25-year-old local resident to the intensive care unit at a Varna hospital, where he remains in critical condition. Hospital officials confirmed that he sustained numerous bone fractures and a pneumothorax, leaving him in immediate danger of death, [dir.bg] reported.
Footage of the moment of impact and subsequent fire circulated widely across social media platforms, capturing the severity of the wreck. Police and emergency crews secured the boulevard as investigators worked through the night to document the debris field stretching across the roadway, the tree line, and the pedestrian walkway below.
The Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior in Varna continues its active inquiry into the exact sequence of events leading up to the crash. Investigators are examining amateur video recordings and witness statements regarding the vehicle’s velocity prior to losing control.
“Work on the case continues.”, stated the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior in Varna, as reported by [dir.bg].
