A 62-year-old woman died on Wednesday morning after a collision with a 35-year-old drunk driver in Limassol.
The driver appeared to be twice over the legal alcohol limit and was arrested at the scene.
The car accident happened at around 1am, on Limassol’s coastal front, near Germasogia.
Under conditions that are still being investigated, the 35-year-old who was driving a saloon car, crashed into an SUV that the 62-year-old woman was driving.
The fire department extracted the woman from the car, who was pronounced dead upon arrival to Limassol general hospital. The woman was from Hungary and working in Cyprus.
The driver, from Russia, was unharmed while the passenger in his vehicle was slightly injured. She received treatment at a private clinic and was later allowed to go.
An initial alcotest indicated 58 μg of alcohol while a follow-up was 47μg. The legal limit is 22μg.
