A serious accident occurred today on the Egnatia motorway in Greece, causing the death of two people and the injury of four others. The serious incident occurred in the area of ​​the Polymylos toll road, between the cities of Kozani and Veria, where a truck with Ukrainian license plates lost control and crashed into two vehicles before forcefully hitting a toll booth.

The collision occurred in severe weather conditions, with dense fog and poor visibility considered significant factors that may have contributed to the accident. After the collision, a massive fire engulfed the vehicles, leaving behind a tragic scene.

Two people were burned to death on the spot, while four others were injured and rushed to hospital. Two of the injured have been admitted to the North Hospital and two others to the Kozani Hospital. Fortunately, official sources indicate that the injured are out of danger.

The truck driver, a Ukrainian national, has been arrested by police and is being questioned to shed light on the causes of the accident. Greek authorities do not rule out the possibility that extreme weather conditions and traffic violations may have contributed to the tragedy.

Due to the accident, traffic on the Egnatia highway has been completely disrupted, with the direction towards Kozani blocked in both directions. Long lines of vehicles have formed, while authorities have started diverting traffic through the North intersection.

Emergency services, including firefighters and ambulances, are at the scene to manage the situation and assist the injured. Meanwhile, the Greek Traffic Police have launched investigations to fully clarify the circumstances of this tragic event.
