At least six people were injured in the crash, according to initial reports, though none of the injuries appear to be serious. Among the injured is a minor.

Emergency services (EKAV) responded swiftly, arriving at the scene within six minutes with four ambulances and two rapid-response motorcycles.

Rescuers provided first aid to ten bus passengers, and as a precaution, five were taken in stable condition to Evangelismos Hospital, while a child was transported to Agia Sofia Children’s Hospital.
