A serious traffic accident happened early Saturday morning on the Limassol–Nicosia highway near Mosfiloti. A vehicle collision caused a fire and injured two people, leading to police involvement.
According to the police, around 02:20, a 31-year-old driver lost control of his car for reasons still being looked into. He crashed into the highway barriers on both sides several times.
The vehicle came to a stop in the right lane. The driver got out, turned on the hazard lights, and moved to the median between the lanes.
Shortly after, a car in the right lane, driven by a 20-year-old with another 20-year-old as a passenger, hit the parked vehicle of the 31-year-old.
The strong impact caused a fire in the young men’s car, which was soon engulfed in flames and completely destroyed.
The two 20-year-olds suffered minor injuries and were taken by ambulance to Nicosia General Hospital for first aid.
The police reported that breathalyzer tests on both drivers showed negative results.
The Perachorio Police Station is looking into how the accident happened.
