A man's car has been blown up in motion in the Bulgarian Black Sea city of Varna early Friday morning.
The explosion occurred at a major downtown Varna crossroads near the Varna University of Economics shortly after 8 am on Friday, the BTA agency reported.
After the explosion the car, an Audi with Varna license plates, crashed into a traffic light pole.
The driver was rushed to the St. Anna Hospital but later died in the emergency room.
Unconfirmed information says the car belonged to the manager of the "Varna Export" firm which trades with veined rapa whelk, a species of predatory sea snails abundant in the Black Sea.
Source from the Varna police have been quoted as saying that the car blast was most likely caused by a bomb planted under the driver's seat but this is to be confirmed after inspection by DOTI, a police unit specializing on explosives.
