A tragic family accident in Elefsina resulted in the death of a 71-year-old woman after being struck by her daughter while assisting her with parking.
A devastating accident in Elefsina on Monday shocked the local community when a 44-year-old woman accidentally killed her 71-year-old mother while trying to park her car. The incident took place around 1:30 PM on Alkiviadou Street, where the daughter was attempting to parallel park her vehicle, guided by her mother who was standing outside the car. Unfortunately, the driver confused the accelerator with the brake, leading to a tragic collision that resulted in severe injuries to her mother.
As the mother was helping her daughter park, she became trapped between the car door and a nearby tree due to the sudden movement of the vehicle.
