Three Children Injured in Three-Vehicle Crash in Halkidiki

A serious traffic accident on Saturday afternoon in Halkidiki left three children injured. The collision occurred on the provincial road connecting Poligiros and Ierissos, involving three vehicles.

The incident began shortly before noon when a car, driven by a 73-year-old Russian national and carrying a 7-year-old boy, crashed into a truck. The impact was severe enough to propel the truck into a third vehicle, operated by a 44-year-old woman, which contained two other children, aged 6 and 9.

While the three children sustained injuries, initial reports indicate their lives are not in danger. Emergency services, including the National Center for Emergency Care (EKAV), the Fire Service, and the Police, responded promptly. Traffic flow was significantly disrupted until the vehicles were cleared from the roadway.

Residents of the area have expressed concern, labeling the specific stretch of road a "death trap." They note that numerous traffic accidents have occurred there in recent years, highlighting a persistent safety issue.
