A senior citizen died after his bicycle accident on Friday evening. The 70-year-old man was riding down Yanko Sakazov Street around 5:40 p.m. Emergency responders found him dead at the scene. The tragedy happened during rush hour when many people travel home from work. Police officers began investigating the fatal crash right away.
The elderly cyclist was heading downhill toward Vazrozhdanska Street when things went wrong. He could not keep his bike steady as he moved down the steep road. The bicycle went out of control and threw him from the path. Gravity pulled both rider and machine toward the side of the street. The accident location sits near several homes where residents store wood for winter heating.
Stacked firewood broke the man's fall but could not save his life. His head struck the wooden logs with deadly force. Medical workers arrived quickly but found no signs of life. The emergency team declared him dead at the accident site. Local authorities will examine how the crash happened and determine if anyone bears responsibility for the death.
