Drunk driver 'flies over' median in Lamia crash, hits oncoming car

A shocking car accident unfolded in Lamia, Greece, on Wednesday afternoon, creating a scene described as "cinematic." The incident involved a driver who allegedly drove under the influence of alcohol, swerving over the central reservation and crashing into a car traveling in the opposite direction.

According to local reports, the driver of the first vehicle was operating without a valid license, as it had been previously suspended due to an earlier offense of driving under the influence. This was reportedly not the first time the individual had been arrested for a similar violation.

The vehicle, heading towards the exhibition center, mounted the dividing barrier and collided head-on with a car traveling in the correct lane. Eyewitnesses described the event as sudden and unexpected, with the blue car appearing to "fly over" the median before striking the other vehicle.

Miraculously, despite the force of the collision, no injuries were reported. The driver of the second vehicle expressed shock, unable to comprehend how they were hit head-on on a road with a median divider. Emergency services, including an ambulance and traffic police, responded to the scene. A breathalyzer test confirmed the offending driver's blood alcohol level was above the legal limit.

From one moment to the next, I saw the blue car go over the median and stop on top of the other car.
