Dozens of citizens held a vigil in memory of 15-year-old Philip, who was run over by a drunk driver on a pedestrian crossing in central Sofia. Classmates of the deceased boy sat at the scene of the accident, and relatives of children killed in similar accidents laid flowers and lit candles. They called for tougher penalties and effective sentences for people who drive under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
Meanwhile, the Prosecutor’s Office has indicted the driver, who was caught with two permille alcohol in his blood, for causing death after intentionally violating traffic rules. The driver was detained for 72 hours.
The number of drunk drivers and those who drive under the influence of drugs has started to decrease, but you can see that there are such people," Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov said regarding the changes in the Penal Code that affect drink and drug driving. He promised inspections that would yield results.
