Collision near Pissouri sends car occupants to hospital
Police say two vehicles collided on the old Limassol–Paphos road; five occupants remained in hospital after treatment.
Six people were injured when two cars collided on the old Limassol–Paphos road near Pissouri, in Cyprus, according to police accounts reported by Cyprus Mail and In-Cyprus. Five of the occupants were admitted to hospital and one was discharged after first aid.
The collision involved vehicles driven by men aged 58 and 50. Each was travelling with passengers, and emergency crews transferred the occupants to hospitals in Limassol and Paphos for treatment.
A woman aged 49 was transferred from Paphos to Nicosia General Hospital because doctors suspected a serious injury to her aorta. Her husband remained in Paphos for treatment of a spinal injury, according to the two news outlets.
A woman aged 65 was treated for serious injuries to her face and hip. Another female passenger sustained an injury to her breastbone. The reports said the five patients who remained in hospital were considered out of danger at the time of the update.
Pissouri police opened an investigation into the circumstances of the crash. The reports agreed on the location and casualty figures but differed about the weekday on which it happened, so the exact day has not been assigned here.
Police had not identified a definitive cause, announced criminal charges or given an estimate of damage to the vehicles. There were no reports of fatalities or injuries outside the two cars.
