18-year-old Haritini Karachristou, who was critically injured in a horrific car accident on November 2 in Agrinio that claimed the life of her 20-year-old brother Akis, has sadly passed away.
The Accident Details
The fatal accident occurred on the Antirrio-Ioannina National Highway near the Megali Chora junction. A violent side-frontal collision took place between a car, carrying a Roma family, and a two-wheeler ridden by the siblings. The car was crossing the highway when the motorbike, traveling in the direction of Amfilochia, struck it with significant force.
Akis Karachristos, 20, succumbed to his injuries at the scene. His younger sister, Haritini, was rushed to the ICU at Agrinio Hospital, where her family held onto hope for a miracle despite the doctors’ limited optimism.
Haritini’s Battle for Life
Haritini fought valiantly to survive. The medical team’s efforts were relentless, but her condition remained critical from the beginning. A call for financial support to transfer her to a specialized ICU gained traction on social media, as the family sought every possible measure to save her.
Heartbreaking Outcome
On the morning of Sunday, November 24, Haritini tragically lost her battle for life, according to agriniopress.gr. The devastating news plunged her grieving family—already mourning the loss of her brother Akis—and the entire local community into profound sorrow.
