Recent traffic accidents involving pedestrians in Nicosia and Paphos

Two separate traffic incidents involving pedestrians have occurred in Cyprus recently. On October 23, 2026, a 28-year-old woman was struck by a vehicle driven by a 66-year-old woman on Kantaras Avenue in Strovolos, Nicosia. The victim was hospitalized with head injuries and a hematoma, though tests confirmed the driver was sober and drug-free.

On the evening of October 24, a second, more severe incident occurred on Chryssoneras Avenue in Kissonerga, Paphos. A 33-year-old female driver struck a 54-year-old woman and a 69-year-old man as they were crossing the road. The 54-year-old victim remains in the intensive care unit with multiple fractures and a head injury, while the man was treated and discharged. The driver initially fled the scene but surrendered to the local police station around midnight. She has been charged in writing and is expected to face court proceedings as the Peyia Police Station investigates the collision.
