The 30-year-old driver of the car, who had been transferred to KAT hospital with severe injuries after a dramatic chase on Kifisos Avenue, lost his battle for life. The chase began in Zephyri and continued as the driver entered the national highway, where he collided with a truck.

According to information, the 30-year-old Roma man had been wanted by the police after a complaint from his mother about a threat, which was reported to the Domestic Violence Office at the Acharnes Police Department.
