A man died in Bulgaria's capital Sofia Monday morning after a waste collecting truck of the "Chistota Iskar"(Iskar Cleaning) company smashed his car.

The accident happened around 10 a.m. at Suhodolska Str. in the Krasna Polyana quarter. While attempting to lift a dumpster the truck capsized over a car, witnesses said.

The driver of the truck is wounded and immediately taken to Sofia Institute for Emergency Medicine "Pirogov".

Some city counselors have commented that the reason for the accident was the driver of the truck was hurrying.

There are police and fireman patrols at the crime scene, and the region is closed. That caused a huge traffic jam in the region.
