According to reports from local media, a tragic accident has occurred on the island of Corfu involving a bus filled with tourists and a lorry. The incident happened near the popular summer destination of Marmaras of Barbari, resulting in one fatality and two injuries.
The bus, which was carrying passengers from Paleokastritsa, collided with a parked lorry, causing extensive damage to both vehicles. The driver of the lorry has been reported to have sustained serious injuries, while the bus driver unfortunately did not survive the crash. Emergency responders, including firefighters, paramedics, and police officers, were quickly on the scene to attend to the victims.
Despite most of the tourists managing to exit the bus, some were still trapped inside and had to be carefully removed by the firefighters. Video footage captured at the scene shows the chaotic aftermath of the crash, with panicked voices of the tourists audible in the background. Photos also show the extent of the damage and the efforts of the emergency responders.
This tragedy comes just a week after another fatal accident on a Greek island. In Chania, Crete, a British woman was killed while out for a walk with her family. The 47-year-old was struck by a car that had lost control and collided with her and her 54-year-old sister-in-law. While the sister-in-law survived with injuries to her arms and legs, the victim unfortunately passed away a few hours after being rushed to a nearby hospital.
