The accident occurred close to the Vratsa village of Banitsa. Radoev was 19 years outdated then. He places 15-year-old Nancy, 16-year-old Leonardo and 14-year-old Steffy in his automobile. The younger man didn’t have a license.
The corporate of 4 folks went for a tour with the golf. On the best way again to the village, the motive force Rosen Radoev began to take a proper flip. He didn’t contemplate that the street was moist and misplaced management of the automobile. The entrance left a part of the automobile hit a tree. Within the collision, the Golf overturned and fell by way of the ceiling right into a ditch. The younger folks within the automobile have been in a really severe situation, and solely 14-year-old Steffy was higher, who managed to name 112, although she was trapped within the automobile.
The police groups that arrived on the scene needed to lower the sheet metallic to get the folks out of the golf course. Nevertheless, the medics solely confirmed the dying of 15-year-old Nancy. The driving force Rosen Radoev was taken to a Sofia hospital in a coma collectively together with his buddy Leo Stefanov. The 16-year-old had 6 damaged vertebrae. Steffy, however, escaped with solely a bruise and different superficial accidents, though when she obtained out of the automobile, her face was lined in blood.
All 4 younger persons are from the village of Banitsa. Due to this fact, the information shortly reached their kinfolk. As quickly as she realized she had misplaced her daughter, Nancy’s mom swallowed her tongue in shock and the police barely saved her. Bilyana raised Nancy by herself, greater than 20 years in the past she misplaced 2 extra women from numerous illnesses.
The primary sentence that Radoev acquired on April 18, 2022, was from the district court docket in Vratsa. She is 5 years in jail. He was discovered responsible of the truth that on August 5, 2020, on the Vratsa – Oryahovo street earlier than the doorway to the village of Banitsa, driving a automobile with no license and at 122 km/h with a pace restrict of 90 km/h allowed for the precise street part, prompted an accident.

The unauthorized pace is all the time inappropriate, and on this case the motive force clearly didn’t contemplate the pace of the automobile when coming into a left activate a moist street, and aside from that, within the case it was factually established that earlier than the flip, he was shifting at a a lot larger pace pace, about which the injured Nancy made a comment to him.
In its causes, the judicial composition of the Supreme Court docket factors out that the younger folks agreed to journey within the automobile pushed by Radoev, who they knew didn’t have a license, and didn’t put seat belts on the again seats.
Within the particular case, nevertheless, the seat belts wouldn’t have protected the passengers within the rear seats on the established excessive pace and the ensuing deformations on the automobile.
The appellate judges gave 7 years in jail to Radoev additionally as a result of he didn’t have a crucial angle to what occurred and specifically to the causes of the accident, since in his explanations he offered a protection thesis for a mechanical motive for the prevalence of the accident.

Subsequent, the supreme judges discovered the analysis of the defendant’s habits based mostly on his affiliation with individuals inclined to commit a criminal offense to be utterly invalid.
The third argument of the appellate occasion for rising the penalty, specifically that the defendant was driving a motorized vehicle with no license and at an extreme pace earlier than the act for which he was punished by administrative order, was thought-about by the cassation panel to be inadequate for such an aggravation of the defendant’s accountability.
The judicial panel of the Supreme Court docket finds that, upon an accurate evaluation of the ratio between aggravating and mitigating circumstances (amongst which the very younger age of the defendant on the time of the act stands out, of necessity), the penalty of seven years of imprisonment ought to essentially be lowered to 5 years. On this quantity, it corresponds to the gravity of the particularly dedicated act and the non-public knowledge of the defendant and seems to be enough to realize all targets.
