Three die after car plunges into Piraeus port

A tragic incident occurred on the evening of Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Gate E2 of the port of Piraeus, Greece, where a vehicle plunged into the sea. The accident resulted in the deaths of three family members: a 45-year-old man and his parents, aged 82 and 79 (reported by Cyprus Times as 72 years old).

Initially, search and rescue teams, including the Coast Guard, the Underwater Operations Unit, and private vessels, recovered the 45-year-old man. Subsequently, the elderly couple was also recovered from the submerged vehicle, but they could not be saved. Reports indicate that the 82-year-old father was driving at the time of the accident.

Preliminary information suggests that the driver may have lost control of the vehicle due to adverse weather conditions, specifically heavy rain that had occurred earlier in the area. Authorities are currently investigating the exact circumstances surrounding the tragedy. While initial reports expressed uncertainty regarding the survival of the elderly couple, later updates confirmed that all three occupants of the car had lost their lives.
