The 16-year-old victim was riding a motorbike when he was struck by the truck, which had run a STOP sign. Both the victim and the 17-year-old driver were students at the same school.

After the collision, the 17-year-old driver did not stop; instead, he accelerated and continued driving, leaving the injured boy bleeding on the ground.

Officers from the Karystos Police Department arrested both the 17-year-old driver and his father for neglect of a minor. A preliminary investigation is underway to determine whether the father knowingly allowed his son to drive the truck without a license or if the 17-year-old took the vehicle without permission.

The incident has left students, parents, teachers, and the entire town of Karystos in shock. A student from the first year of high school has died, and a student from the third year of high school is now facing manslaughter charges.
