On Tuesday afternoon, February 24th, a serious traffic accident took place on Syggrou Avenue in Greece. The incident involved a collision between a motorbike and a car, where the motorcyclist was attempting to continue straight while the car turned right towards Lamprou Katsioni, resulting in a violent collision. Witnesses reported moments of panic, as bystanders rushed to assist the injured motorcyclist, who was a man in his 40s, that ended up being thrown from his bike and colliding with a pillar.

Passersby immediately attempted to perform CPR on the injured man, and even a nurse stopped to help him. A private ambulance that was passing by was also halted by others, with the rescuers providing first aid until emergency services arrived. Eyewitnesses indicated that while the motorcyclist initially had a pulse, his condition deteriorated over time, and he ultimately lost consciousness. He was subsequently transported to the hospital.

This incident highlights the dangers cyclists face on busy urban roads and the urgent need for road safety measures to prevent such accidents in the future. The response from bystanders and the quick actions of those who intervened offer a glimpse into community solidarity in the face of emergencies, yet underscore the tragic reality of road safety in Greece.
