 Interior Minister Boyko Rashkov said that there had been an increase in both the number of severe accidents and the number of injured and dead people. According to him, the condition of roads in Bulgaria directly affects the number of serious accidents. "From January 1 to April 4, 1,220 serious accidents occurred, 105 people were killed and 1,530 people were injured, which is alarming" the Minister pointed out.
