An elderly driver was taken to hospital after his car overturned in Aposkepos, Kastoria, on Sunday afternoon.
The incident occurred when the man attempted to turn around at a particularly narrow point on the road. He apparently misjudged the distances, lost control of the vehicle and overturned in the middle of the road.
Residents and passing motorists quickly went to help and managed to free the driver from inside the car. He suffered only light injuries, according to the report.
An EKAB ambulance transported him to Kastoria General Hospital for first aid and medical care. Kastoria traffic police also attended, recorded the incident and began a preliminary investigation to establish the exact circumstances of the overturning.
