“He drives drunk all the time, he’s not safe”: A neighbor’s story about the driver who ran over a 15-year-old child in Sofia
For another evening, at the intersection in Sofia, where 15-year-old Philip was hit on a pedestrian path, people gathered to honor the memory of the child.
They want stricter measures and fair sentences. Relatives observed a moment of silence, lit a candle and placed flowers in memory of the child. A protest is also being organized on Sunday in the Triangle of Power.
A neighbor of the driver who hit and killed a 15-year-old boy told bTV that it was not the first time Petar Todorov got behind the wheel drunk.
“He drinks too much, drives drunk all the time, it’s not safe for him, I’ve seen him ride drunk many times. Always drinking, that’s always drinking and driving. No one was guarding at all. He was driving like an absolute lunatic, I have remarked to him more than once and he was still drunk,” says the neighbor.
Against the background of this story, the police caught Todorov with alcohol only once – 1.4 thousand days after he got his driver’s license, in 2005. Then he gets away with a fine.
The name of the woman who was with her child in the driver’s car on the fatal night has not yet been released. We know that the two had a relationship and that she often visited his home.
“There was a girl here, she used to come to him, with a child, but I don’t know if it’s his, if she’s his girlfriend,” the neighbor added.
Neighbors also say that Todorov is conflicted. And today we did not find anyone at the address where the accused Petar Todorov lives. We also did not find his girlfriend at her address.
