Alarm spread through Loutraki on Sunday afternoon, June 28, 2026, after a metal scaffolding structure — erected on a building at the intersection of Ypsilantou and Periandrou streets — suddenly collapsed. The scaffolding fell directly onto a parked passenger vehicle, causing significant material damage and sparking widespread concern among local residents.
Luckily, no one was inside the car at the time of the incident, and there were no injuries reported.
The scene quickly became chaotic, prompting immediate notification of relevant municipal and safety authorities. Officials have launched an investigation into the conditions that led to the scaffolding’s failure.
The incident underscores the critical importance of strict adherence to construction safety protocols — particularly for temporary structures like scaffolding — to prevent similar accidents in the future.
