The serious traffic accident occurred around 8:20 pm on Wednesday at the bus stop in front of the "The Mall" shopping center on Tsarigradsko Shose Blvd.
A taxi heading for the city center suffered a flat tire, spun out of control, and rammed into a bus stop full of people, leaving 12 injured. Kurtev had been speeding, according to traffic police.
A woman aged 27 died in hospital after the horrific crash.
A six-year-old child is still in critical condition.
