A police officer, a driver and three migrants are in hospital, after a police van tried to stop a car transporting migrants on Sofia’s ring road. The police officer has sustained a life-threatening cranio-cerebral injury. The crash occurred after, early this morning, human traffickers transporting some 10 migrants refused to stop for an inspection and a car chase followed.

In August, two Bulgarian police officers were killed as a bus transporting migrants ploughed into a police car in Burgas

On 11 November, Bulgarian police officer Petar Bachvarov was shot dead on Bulgarian territory, in the border area with Turkey.
