Tragic Car Accident in Katexaki: How a Family Was Devastated – The Two Scenarios Investigated by Traffic Authorities

A family was devastated on the fateful Clean Monday (3.3.2025), as both the 56-year-old driver and his elderly parents tragically lost their lives during a severe collision. The accident occurred at noon on Clean Monday along the Katexaki Highway on Pindou Street in Goudi, resulting in three fatalities and three injured individuals. The white vehicle carrying the family was traveling at excessive speed while other vehicles were stationary at a red light, causing it to crash into the stopped cars. The traffic authorities are examining all possibilities, with two main scenarios under consideration: either the 56-year-old driver failed to notice the red light and the halted vehicles, or he encountered a sudden health issue. It is noted that the family’s car collided with a black vehicle, which subsequently hit a taxi and then another car. Three additional people were injured in the collision. An eyewitness reported seeing the three vehicles involved, stating, ‘The black car was at the front, the taxi in the middle, and the white one behind. It seemed that the people had already passed away.’ Another witness emphasized, ‘There are no words; you can’t describe what happened.’
