Thessaloniki truck becomes wedged under Agion Panion Bridge

A truck became wedged under the Agion Panion Bridge in Thessaloniki during the early hours of Thursday, October 8, causing significant traffic disruptions. The incident occurred while a white truck, which was being transported on a recovery vehicle due to a mechanical failure, attempted to pass under the bridge.

The collision was caused by a failure to correctly calculate the total height of the transport vehicle combined with its load. The truck became stuck in a precarious position, with its front end elevated and its trailer resting on the roadway.

Traffic police intervened to manage the scene, temporarily closing the lane leading toward Monastiriou Street. Authorities implemented vehicle diversions to alternative routes to mitigate congestion on the central road axis.
