What happened

The collision happened at about 10.50pm on Friday, 9 October 2026, when a car driven by a 32-year-old man struck a car driven by a 61-year-old woman on Omonia Avenue in Limassol.

The woman was first taken to Limassol General Hospital, where doctors found bleeding on the brain, a collapsed lung and a fractured pelvis. Given the severity of her injuries, she was intubated and moved to a private hospital, where she remains in the intensive care unit on a ventilator.

Her 62-year-old passenger suffered fractures to the spine and ribs, while a 20-year-old passenger in the other car suffered bleeding in a pelvic artery. Two of the six injured are in a serious but stable condition.

The 32-year-old driver and his two other passengers, aged 22 and 19, were not seriously hurt and were kept in hospital only as a precaution. Police are continuing their inquiries into the cause of the collision.

If you drive on routes like this

• Slow down in unfamiliar conditions: every 1% of extra speed raises fatal-crash risk about 4%
• Never assume the other vehicle sees you at night or in rain — drive as if it doesn't
• On two-lane roads, treat every overtake as the highest-risk moment of the trip
• Wear the seatbelt in every seat; rear belts save lives in head-on impacts
• Know the local emergency number before you travel — our emergency numbers directory covers every country

What happens next

Police normally publish a confirmed casualty count within 24 to 48 hours once the injured are counted and victims identified. A crash investigation follows: vehicle condition, speed, driver hours and road condition. Where a commercial vehicle is involved, the operator's licence and maintenance records are examined, and families of victims are usually entitled to compensation under the country's motor insurance or accident-compensation rules.
