The section of the Nicosia-Lemesos motorway, in the Kornou area, which was closed in the direction of Limassol, has been reopened due to a traffic collision between four cars at around 3.30 in the afternoon.
Members of the Police had rushed to the scene to examine, assist and regulate traffic, which was initially directed towards the old Nicosia-Lemesos road, and shortly afterwards, was directed to the one lane of the motorway that had been opened to traffic.
Around 5.30pm, the second lane of the road was opened to traffic, with traffic continuing as normal.
The collision does not appear to have injured any person, however the driver of one of the vehicles and a passenger of a second vehicle were taken for medical examinations as a precaution.
From initial investigations conducted at the scene of the collision, it is believed that the weather conditions, particularly the hail that was present in the area and made the road surface slippery, was one of the factors that caused the collision.
Investigations are continuing at the Kofinou Police Station.
The road is still slippery due to the wet road surface. Police recommend that drivers passing by pay special attention and are advised to drive their vehicles at a safe, low speed and maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead.
