The local community of Agrinio has been plunged into mourning and a family is living the loss of their 20-year-old son and wishes that his 17-year-old sister will make it.
The 20-year-old Akis was killed in a traffic accident that happened yesterday (3/11) at the Megali Chora junction on the Antirrio – Ioannina highway, when his motorbike, in which he had his underage sister as a passenger, collided head-on with a car.
The driver of the vehicle was tested and is facing charges of manslaughter. He was temporarily released.
The 17-year-old girl is happy after the traffic accident
Shortly after the family was informed that their son was dead, doctors made it clear that there was no hope for their 17-year-old daughter, according to the website sinidisi.gr.
“Too severe, in extremely severe condition, brain injury, her life is in immediate danger and she definitely has other injuries,” said Konstantinos Bakopoulos, director and neurosurgeon for the 17-year-old.
Today relatives and friends will accompany the 20-year-old to his last residence at 12:00 in the Holy Church of Panagia Axion Esti Lefka Agrini. His mother breaks hearts and bids him farewell with just four words. “Have a nice trip my child” he writes.
“They weren’t wearing helmets”
The testimonies of those who were found at the scene of the accident reflect the tragedy. “The engine was down and broken, the car was badly damaged. The world is down. I got closer and what I saw was the boy down, I didn’t see the girl, they took her faster. The boy I saw, we understood that he had ended up,” said an eyewitness.
Konstantinos Bokoros, president of the Agrini community, was also present at the scene. “The child was lying face down and the girl. The machine was on top of him, he wasn’t moving at all so we knew it was over. The kid was gone in no time, I’m 100% telling you that. The girl was face down but breathing intermittently. The ambulance took 20-25 minutes to come,” he told MEGA.
“Two ambulances came. The first took the girl they found alive and the second took the child. They didn’t wear helmets. The kid looked like he was in bad shape. The child’s face was unrecognizable, so was the blood. We were all shocked,” he said, among other things.
