New details have emerged from the tragic accident that took the lives of an Albanian couple on the streets of Greece. Greek media reports that it was a fatal mistake by the driver and passenger of the car that collided with another vehicle in Ionia Odos early this morning.

According to information in the Greek media, shortly after 6:30 in the morning, the car in which the 58-year-old Albanian man and his 50-year-old wife were traveling, while moving in Ionia Odos towards Ioannina, slowed down due to a mechanical problem.

Shoferi 58-vjeçar ka parkuar makinën në korsinë e Urgjencës dhe ka fikur motorin në kilometrin e 171, pak para traut të tarifës së Terovës. Më pas ai hapi derën dhe doli në këmbë për të hapur kapakun e makinës dhe për të parë se çfarë po ndodhte me makinën e tij.

Gruaja e tij 50-vjeçare, e cila ishte ulur në sediljen e pasme të majtë, zbriti me të për ta ndihmuar. Dy fëmijët e tyre, përkatësisht 26 dhe 10 vjeç, mbetën në pozicionet e tyre.

Ndonëse makina blu ishte e parkuar në një zonë të sigurt, çifti ka gabuar duke qëndruar pas dyerve, të cilat dilnin nga korsia e emergjencës.

Thus, the driver of the other car collided with the doors that extended beyond the line of the emergency lane, dragging the unfortunate couple. The 58-year-old man died instantly, while his 50-year-old wife was seriously injured and died a short time later during transport to the hospital.

The driver of the second vehicle, who was slightly injured, and the two children who were sent for precautionary reasons after the collision were sent to the University Hospital of Ioannina.

Preliminary investigations into the road accident are being carried out by the Antirrio-Ianinë Road Directorate, which is investigating the exact location of the blue car in which the family from Albania was traveling, as well as the speed at which the vehicle that hit them was moving. /CNA.al
