In a heart-wrenching incident, 23-year-old Savvas Monokroussos lost his life in a car accident on the evening of Wednesday (18.06.25) near Katarahti in Pyrgos. According to his brother, who spoke with newsit.gr, Savvas had just finished work and was returning home when the tragic event occurred. Just days earlier, Savvas celebrated his wedding, making this sudden loss even more devastating for his family and community.
Ironically, tragedy has visited this family twice in recent years. Two years ago, Savvas’s brother tragically died in a workplace accident. The family is now grappling with unimaginable grief as they mourn the loss of two sons.
The details surrounding the accident remain unclear, but it is known that Savvas’s vehicle collided violently with an olive tree. His brother expressed disbelief over the suddenness of the event and emphasized how quickly such tragic news spreads in their close-knit community.
Savvas’s wife is reportedly in a critical psychological state following the unexpected loss. As the town of Pyrgos mourns yet another young life cut short, the community rallies together to support the grieving family during this difficult time.
