Two Bulgarian police died early Thursday after heroically trying to stop a bus with 47 migrants who had entered Bulgaria illegally, according to Stanimir Stanev, a senior Interior Ministry official.
The incident occurred at 5 a.m. in the Black Sea city of Burgas after the vehicle refused to stop at two consecutive police border checkpoints, Stanev told reporters.
On the bus, which bore Turkish license plates, were 47 illegal migrants, although authorities have not released their nationalities.
Officers pulled their vehicle in front of the bus once it entered a residential area, but the bus driver did not stop; instead, he slammed into the patrol car, crushing it with the officers inside, before crashing into a nearby bus stop.
Two policemen died because of the commander’s incompetence.
Calling them heroic is a bit of a stretch. They wouldn’t have died if they weren’t such idiots.
The driver was a 15 year old syrian and not a turk, he was one of the immigrants
