NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A city of 1.2 million people has become a death trap for pedestrians if a series of recent tragedies are proof.
‘Protect your children,’ the mother of a teenage boy who was killed in a gut-wrenching car crash over the weekend appealed to other parents at a demonstration against Bulgarian authorities.
Her son, Filip, died on Saturday evening when a swerving Mercedes ploughed into him in the centre of Sofia, dragging his body behind.
Behind the wheel of the car was a man so drunk that he only drove a few hundred meters before slamming into the 15-year-old who was crossing a pedestrian lane.
