Tragic circumstances of the fatal accident
It is recalled that the circumstances of the fatal accident were tragic. The fatal vehicle was being driven by the 21-year-old co-driver of the unfortunate 18-year-old girl and was heading south on the main Kybidi- Kanto road when, under circumstances under investigation, it lost control, causing it to overturn successively in an adjacent field, slide and hit a house enclosure.
The impact caused both young men to be ejected from the vehicle and examinations show that the vehicle travelled a considerable distance until it came to a stop outside an adjacent house.
Limassol Traffic Police Officer Michael Michael in his statements from the scene of the accident said that "certainly the vehicle had increased speed resulting in it dragging such a long distance and hitting the wall of an adjacent house."
Preliminary examinations show that the youths were not wearing seat belts.
The 21-year-old was taken to Limassol Hospital as he sustained minor trauma of a pneumothorax and right rib fractures and is being held for hospitalization.
The driver underwent blood tests so as to determine whether he had previously consumed a quantity of alcohol or other substances.
"The driver managed to overturn the car on a straight road, with no traffic. Both were not wearing their seat belts, if they were wearing them they would not have been ejected, they would have stayed in their seats. If they were wearing their seat belts, we wouldn't have had this fatality. We would have had the overturning of the car but no one would have left the car," said Traffic Police Director Giannakis Georgiou in a televised statement.
