64-year-old man killed in road accident on Evrychou-Astromeritis highway

A fatal traffic accident occurred on the evening of Tuesday, November 10, on the Evrychou-Astromeritis highway near the village of Koutrafas, resulting in the death of 64-year-old Apollonas Zosimidis, a Greek national. The incident took place at approximately 6:00 p.m. when the victim’s vehicle veered off course for reasons currently under investigation. The car struck a concrete barrier before colliding with an embankment, where it came to a final stop.

Following the impact, the driver was ejected from the vehicle and onto the road surface. Emergency responders transported him to the Nicosia General Hospital, where the attending physician confirmed his death. While most sources report the incident occurred at 6:00 p.m., one local outlet mistakenly referred to the time as 7:00 p.m.

The Morphou Traffic Police have initiated an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the crash. As part of the ongoing inquiry, the highway was closed temporarily to allow for evidence collection. A post-mortem examination is expected to be conducted at a later stage to confirm the precise cause of death.
