Bulgarian authorities have ordered the release of a Romanian heavy goods vehicle driver detained in connection with a massive chain-reaction crash on the Trakia highway. The incident, which occurred under conditions of dense fog, involved over 70 vehicles and resulted in up to 12 fatalities alongside dozens of injuries.

Prosecutors questioned the driver after preliminary telemetry and witness statements indicated his truck decelerated sharply, potentially triggering the multi-vehicle collision. Investigators have interviewed at least 44 witnesses to reconstruct the event. While emergency services completed the removal of wreckage to restore highway traffic, technical experts continue to evaluate vehicle data. Meanwhile, medical facilities are treating surviving victims, including a second Romanian citizen recovering from severe injuries.

A crowdfunding campaign raised over €1.13 million within 17 hours to assist the two police officers wounded while neutralizing the 24-year-old gunman.

Authorities confirmed that police arrived on the scene within 23 seconds of the initial emergency alert. The wounded officers received immediate medical assistance from two prominent surgeons who happened to be dining nearby. Health officials confirmed that all 15 injured victims remain stable. Law enforcement is continuing its investigation into the suspect's motives after six people were killed in the market square and three of the gunman's relatives were found dead at his home.

Additionally, Trump directed the Department of Justice to investigate Democratic legislators, alleging they used impeachment threats to pressure key government officials.

In a broadcast interview with CBS, Trump defended his foreign policy regarding Russia and suggested that post-war Ukraine would likely assume a "slightly different shape." Sources: NV, Point, The Insider, Радіо Свобода, Українська правда
