The timeline of the accident
A tragic end came from the serious road accident that occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning on the Athens-Lamia national highway, at the 123rd kilometer mark on the Athens-bound lane, just past the Martino bridge. Under circumstances still under investigation, two trucks collided violently, causing one to overturn off the road and the other to slam into a concrete barrier and burst into flames.
One driver dead, one truck engulfed in flames
Firefighters extracted the driver of the overturned vehicle, who was found unconscious and later confirmed dead at the scene, while his co-driver escaped with minor injuries. Meanwhile, the driver of the second truck — a Bulgarian national — was fortunate to escape from the cab just seconds before the vehicle was completely consumed by fire.
