Woman seriously injured in hit-and-run motorcycle accident in Kallithea

A serious traffic accident occurred around 3:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 24, 2026, on Syngrou Avenue near the Lambrou Katsoni underpass in Kallithea, Athens. A motorcycle carrying a man and a 35-year-old woman struck a curb and overturned. The impact ejected the 35-year-old passenger into the opposite traffic lane, where she was subsequently struck by a passing car driven by another 35-year-old woman.

Following the collision, the motorcyclist retrieved his vehicle and fled the scene, leaving the injured woman behind. Emergency services transported the victim to Thriasio Hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the passenger car sustained minor injuries during the incident. Kallithea Traffic Police have since detained a 37-year-old man who is currently under investigation as a suspect in the hit-and-run case. Authorities continue to examine the evidence to confirm if the suspect was indeed the individual who abandoned the victim at the scene.
