The woman who was injured during the accident on the ring road in Sofia has spoken.

Then a powerful jeep rammed their car.

Her husband died and Bridget Petty remained in hospital for months with her life in danger.

On the night of September 25, Brigitte and Loren Petty left Bansko for Sofia.

Their final destination is Sofia Airport so they can return to their native France.

They reach Sofia after dark.

Only a few kilometers before the airport, on the ring road, a powerful car hits them.

"My husband was sleeping, I was awake.

I felt a hit.

I was scared and after that I don't remember anything else," Brigitte Petty told BTV.

64-year-old Loren died on the spot.

Brigitte was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

He spent about a month in metropolitan hospitals.

As soon as her condition allows her to fly, her sons take her back to France.

"I'm in hospital.

Doctors say recovery will take at least a few more months,” she added.

Weeks after the accident, Brigitte found out that the driver of the powerful sports car that caused the accident was 36-year-old Dimitar Lubenov.

Behind the wheel, before the accident, he sat down drunk and drugged, the tests show.

Today, Brigitte has no strength to say anything to the accused.

"People who cause accidents with fatalities must suffer their punishment," her son said.

So Brigitte has been bedridden for months now.

He can sit down now.

He only eats liquid food and will learn to walk again only at the age of 62.

And to live without her husband.
