For new revelations in the case of a father who crashed drunk with his two children.

He drove the family car after a scandal with the children's mother, reports Nova TV.

We remind you that a 7-year-old girl died in the accident, and her 9-year-old brother is in hospital, in serious condition.

What punishment will the driver who killed a 7-year-old child in an accident receive?

The father takes two of their three children and sets off in the direction of cottage areas outside the village where his family has a house.

The condition of the injured man, who is a professional driver, remains serious and unchanged, reports the hospital in Stara Zagora.

A technical examination must show at what speed the car was traveling before the serious accident.

The car broke a 30 cm reinforced concrete fence.

It was this collision that was fatal for the little girl.

"Blood was taken from him for a chemical examination, but in any case he consumed a significant amount of alcohol - 1.42 per million. The ridiculous thing in this case is that the driver was transporting his two minor children with the car around midnight - one is a 7-year-old girl , who unfortunately died. He fell when the car hit a cement fence. The driver's other child, the 9-year-old boy, was wedged between the seats and has multiple fractures and polytraumas, chest trauma, head trauma." , said Dicho Atanasov, district prosecutor of Stara Zagora.

Road experts are adamant that the children were not secured when they were thrown from the car. 

The data shows that two-thirds of the children who died on the road were inside the cars.

"All those who are hit on a footpath or on a bicycle are only one third of those who die.

The main reason for child mortality in accidents in Bulgaria is that parents do not follow the rules for proper safety, including driving them without seat belts", says Iliya Todorov from the Association of Accident Victims.
