The father of the 18-year-old girl who lost her leg in the car crash in Fili on Sunday morning (Feb 16) where a 15-year-old boy died and the other three occupants of the fatal car were injured.

“She had surgery, she doesn’t know yet that her leg was amputated. She will find out with the help of the psychologist so that we can help her,” said the father of the 18-year-old girl who was seriously injured in the car accident in Fili.

“What I have learned is that the driver was driving at breakneck speed. My daughter was sitting in the back seat. She was helped by a man and I owe him a great deal. He saved my child, my little girl,” he said.

“I feel sorry for the little boy who was lost, I feel sorry for his parents because they are in the same position as me but in a worse position.” “The case is now with a lawyer,” he pointed out.

How the car crash happened

The accident occurred shortly after 7am on Sunday when the driver of the private car, in which four other persons, the passenger, a 15-year-old boy and two girls, were travelling on Iasmos Road, heading towards Phili, lost control of the vehicle, causing it to swerve.

The car followed a “crazy” course and at breakneck speed hit first the curb then an olive tree and ended up overturned in a nearby field.

The scene of the tragedy resembled a bombed-out landscape from the violent impact while the IX was transformed into a shapeless mass of iron.

A 15-year-old boy who was reportedly sitting in the back seat was recovered from it and died instantly while the other three occupants were injured.
