Multi-vehicle traffic accident causes eight injuries in Preveza

On August 14, 2026, a serious multi-vehicle traffic accident occurred at the entrance of the underwater tunnel of Aktio, near Preveza, Greece, in the direction toward Aktio. The incident involved a truck and three passenger vehicles bearing Romanian, Italian, and German license plates. Eight people, including at least two children, sustained injuries and were transported to a local hospital. Following medical treatment, seven of the victims have already been discharged.

According to reports, the crash was triggered after traffic was halted due to a mechanical failure in a vehicle at the tunnel entrance. As cars were waiting for the road to clear, a truck driven by a Greek national failed to stop in time and collided with the stationary vehicles, causing a chain-reaction crash that resulted in extensive property damage and roadway debris. Authorities have launched an investigation into the exact circumstances surrounding the incident, which caused significant traffic disruptions in the area.
