Serious traffic accident in Paphos with three people injured

[memory man]

A serious traffic accident occurred at noon at busy Eleftherious Venizelou Avenue in Paphos. Four vehicles were involved, one of which was overturned and three people were injured. Fortunately the worst was avoided since the vehicle stopped before reaching a cafe and a bakery with several customers.




According to the Police, the accident occurred when under conditions that are being investigated a vehicle going into the center of the town collided with another car coming out of a side street. After the collision, the one car overturned and literally ended up at the entrance of commercial stores, fortunately without injuring anyone. The cars involved hit another parked vehicle and a parked motorcycle causing damage.

Three people were injured and have been transferred to the Paphos General hospital. They have been hospitalized but out of danger.

is it my imagination or do vehicles seem to turn over more easily nowadays.

Nah back in the day, the black and white films, all car chases had cars rolling over

That's a very bad junction and very difficult to come out of due to the number of vehicles badly parked outside the coffeeshop on the corner.

There has been a number of times I have had to stop very quickly for someone driving out of a side street with out looking, or had there phone stuck to there ear.

Automatic speed limiters will not improve the driving standard here.
In fact they can be a hazard by taking control away from the driver.

[Jim B]

4x4 vehicles do have a high centre of gravity and a tendency to roll even when clipping a kerb or taking a corner a little faster than recommended.
Too many inexperienced drivers driving vehicles that are beyond their capabilities.

I have posted something like this before!

There was a police officer once said “Some drivers start the engine then open there skull take out there brain put it on the passenger seat, close there skull and start to drive the car!”

Oh , i thought modern cars had remote control ! The driver gets in the car picks up the remote , talks into it and the car drives off, you see it all the time.

silly boy

That's not a remote, that's a mobile telephone.
