There was an accident on Monday near the old Paphos mall at the lights where Bionic used to be.
It looked like a car did a right turn across a car coming up from the superhomes direction.
one of the cars stopped on the pavement outside the old Bionic shop, which is now a car dealers.
The police and fire services where there and I noticed an ambulance going up in the direction of the hospital.
Before that we where coming down from Tsada when a wagon tried to overtake another one going up the hill on a blind corner.
And you wonder why there are so many accident here!
Ho yes got the wagon on dash cam!!!

The rather strange data protection laws I think would preclude it, unless the Reg number obliterated.

Demonic reads all posts, so I'm sure he'll comment in time

The accident happened at 11.10pm, when he lost control of his motorbike and it overturned.

The man, who had a helmet but was not wearing it

Presumably his elbow was ok because that is where many bike riders tend to wear them. Soo bloody stupid. Hopefully he will be ok and also learn a valuable lesson.
