On the night of Saturday, October 24, 2026, a 33-year-old female driver struck a pedestrian couple on the Kissonerga coastal road near Paphos. The victims, a 54-year-old woman and a 69-year-old man, were taken to Paphos General Hospital. The woman sustained serious injuries, including multiple fractures and a traumatic brain injury, and remains in the intensive care unit, while the man was treated for minor injuries and discharged.
