Six people sustained injuries following a severe two-vehicle collision in Limassol on Friday evening, prompting emergency responses and multiple hospital transfers across the island. According to the Cyprus Police, the incident occurred at approximately 7:45 pm when a car driven by a 58-year-old man collided with another vehicle operated by a 50-year-old driver. The crash involved several family members, leaving five individuals currently receiving treatment in medical facilities across Limassol, Paphos, and Nicosia.
The 50-year-old driver was traveling with his 49-year-old wife at the time of the impact. Due to the severity of her injuries, which included a potential aortic rupture, the woman was urgently transferred to Nicosia General Hospital for specialized care. Her husband remains admitted at Paphos General Hospital, where he is undergoing medical treatment for a serious spinal injury.
In the second vehicle, the 58-year-old driver was accompanied by his 65-year-old wife along with a 53-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man. The 65-year-old woman suffered severe facial and hip injuries and was transferred to a private hospital, while her husband remains hospitalized for ongoing treatment. The 53-year-old female passenger sustained sternum injuries and was admitted to Limassol General Hospital, whereas her 60-year-old husband was discharged after receiving first aid. Doctors report that all five hospitalized victims are now considered out of immediate danger.
Limassol traffic police are actively investigating the exact cause and circumstances surrounding the crash. Drivers across Cyprus are urged to exercise extreme caution on urban roads and key arteries, particularly during peak weekend evening hours.
