A 41-year-old driver was left in serious condition following an accident on July 23, 2026, in the Trachoni area of Limassol, Cyprus. The incident occurred around midday while the victim and his brother were conducting a vehicle towing operation. According to local police reports, the towing mechanism—identified as a hook or strap—detached from the lead vehicle, pierced the windscreen of the truck being towed, and struck the 41-year-old driver in the head.

Emergency services, including personnel from the Episkopi Police Station and the Limassol Traffic Police, arrived at the scene shortly after the accident. The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in serious condition and is undergoing surgery. While initial reports cited the time of the incident at approximately 14:30, subsequent police information provided to local media suggested the event took place earlier, around 13:15.

The Episkopi Police Station and the Limassol Traffic Police are currently conducting an investigation into the exact circumstances of the mechanical failure. The inquiry focuses on whether the excessive strain placed on the towing equipment during the operation caused the sudden detachment.
