According to the police press service, the accident occurred on Thursday evening around 17:00 in Paralimni. According to a representative of the Famagusta district police, a 53-year-old vacationer from the United Kingdom lost control while driving and veered onto a pedestrian path, then crashed into a tree lining the path before coming to a stop.

After the accident, the victim was taken to the general hospital in Famagusta in Paralimni, but was later transferred to the intensive care unit of the general hospital in Nicosia and placed in intensive care.

Doctors diagnosed the tourist with a skull fracture, abdominal and chest injuries, as well as a leg fracture. His condition is assessed as extremely critical.
