SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov 7, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Six migrants died in eastern 
Bulgaria when the car they were travelling in plunged into a lake during a 
police chase, a police spokesman told AFP on Friday.

The accident, in which three other migrants were injured, occurred late 
Thursday near Burgas, a port city on the Black Sea.

"The police initially tried to stop the vehicle... but the driver didn't heed 
them," the spokesman said, adding that the intervention had taken place 50 
kilometres (30 miles) south of Burgas.

Officers tried twice more to stop the car. At the third attempt, just outside 
Bourgas, the car skidded off the road into the lake.

The driver, a Romanian citizen, was arrested, police said.
