Two traffic accidents reported in Paphos district

Two separate traffic incidents occurred in the Paphos district in late October 2026. On October 28 at 2:20 a.m., a 65-year-old man lost control of his vehicle on the Polis Chrysochous-Argaka road, colliding with a tree and a safety barrier. The driver was transported to Paphos General Hospital, where he remains intubated in the intensive care unit with multiple fractures and injuries. The Polis Chrysochous Police Station is investigating the circumstances of this crash.

Separately, on October 29 at approximately 3:30 p.m., an 80-year-old driver struck two female cyclists while attempting to overtake them on the road between Polis Chrysochous and Androlykou. One victim, a 50-year-old woman, sustained an orbital fracture and various lacerations; she was admitted to Paphos General Hospital for surgery. Reports regarding her nationality differ, with sources identifying her as either Nepalese or Vietnamese. The second cyclist, who was uninjured, fled the scene before authorities arrived. Police are currently searching for the second woman, as she is suspected of residing in the country illegally. Both cases remain under active police investigation.
