A very serious traffic accident, with the involvement of at least three cars according to the indications, happened a while ago at the junction of Biofos. Under still unknown circumstances and despite the existence of the photo-marking system at the scene, a car turned into an amorphous mass of iron, ending up in the yard of an adjacent house, a second one was immobilized right at the junction of Tassos Papadopoulou with Mesogis Avenue, while a truck was also immobilized at the scene, without it having yet been officially known whether it was involved in the accident.
According to the Police, this is a 42-year-old woman, who was transported by ambulance to Paphos General Hospital. From the tests so far, he does not appear to have suffered a serious injury and is expected to be discharged overnight.
At the same time, other vehicles were parked with the parking lights on until the intersection to the Apostolos Pavlos High School, at a distance of tens of meters away, creating an image of traffic chaos in the area.
One person was injured on the road, in front of a car involved in the collision and an ambulance rushed to the scene to transport him to the Hospital, with his health condition still unknown.
It is also unknown how the road surface at the junction of Viofos from both traffic streams was filled with stones, soil and other materials, further complicating traffic on the road.
There were many citizens on the scene who saw the serious car accident and ran for help or to see what was happening.
Traffic police went to the place to normalize the traffic and avoid further contingencies, since pandemonium prevailed on the scene for a long time.
