In a serious incident in central Piraeus, an elderly man was struck by a bus operated by OASA and has been transported to "Tsaneio" Hospital in critical condition. The accident occurred around noon at the intersection of Heroes of Polytechnic and King George streets, prompting the Piraeus Traffic Police to investigate the circumstances surrounding the event.

In addition to the elderly pedestrian, reports indicate that there are two more injured parties from the accident. A 14-year-old and a 23-year-old were passengers on the bus and sustained minor injuries. The authorities are currently assessing the scene and gathering information to determine how the collision occurred, highlighting the need for stringent traffic safety measures in busy urban areas.

Traffic flow near the accident site is severely disrupted, as the bus involved remains immobilized until the investigation is complete. The intersection of King George and Heroes of Polytechnic streets is known for its heavy vehicle movement, which may exacerbate the impact of this incident on local transportation and necessitate longer-term safety evaluations to prevent similar accidents in the future.
