Tragic Accident in Lakonia: 15-Year-Old Girl Dies After Being Trapped Underwater for 40 Minutes

A somber veil has descended over the local community following a horrific accident on Sunday, March 24, 2025, near Leimonas in Lakonia. A 15-year-old girl tragically lost her life, while her parents were injured. Reports indicate that the young girl was driving the vehicle involved in the fatal crash. Questions abound as to why an underage girl—presumably without a license—was behind the wheel, leading to the car plunging into a drainage canal in Lakonia. Following the incident, the car fell into the water from a height of four meters; however, the parents managed to escape. Unfortunately, the teenager, who was trapped by her seatbelt, remained submerged underwater for 40 minutes. Despite interventions by firefighters and her parents, who hoped to see their child surface, the 15-year-old was pulled out unconscious. Her death was later confirmed at a Lakonian Health Center. Another man nearby sustained injuries from the collision with debris but is reported to be in stable condition. The girl’s parents, though sustaining minor injuries, are now grieving the loss of their child. Authorities have initiated investigations into the exact causes of the accident. In the coming days, an autopsy will be conducted to confirm the cause of death. It is expected that authorities will seek explanations from the parents for allowing their underage daughter to drive, resulting in this tragic outcome.
