Fatal truck‑car collision on Greece’s Corinth‑Tripoli highway kills mother

A serious traffic accident occurred on Saturday afternoon on the Corinth‑Tripoli national road near the Ancient Nemea interchange. A heavy truck traveling toward Corinth lost control, broke through the protective median barrier and entered the opposite lane, colliding head‑on with a passenger car that was heading toward Tripoli. The car carried a three‑person family; the mother sustained critical injuries and died that night after being transferred to the General Hospital of Corinth. Emergency services – police, fire fighters, and EKAB ambulances – responded quickly, extricating the occupants and providing medical care. Authorities are investigating the exact cause of the truck’s deviation.

The incident shocked the local community and prompted a large rescue operation, but no further casualties were reported. The investigation remains ongoing.
