Public Bus Heading to Patras Overturns

Twenty two people were injured on Thursday morning, May 29, when a public bus taking passengers from Pyrgos to Patras overturned on the Perimeter Patras Road, near Omvria exit. The driver lost control of the vehicle and the bus ran off the street, falling into a side road. Police officers are trying to identify the reasons that led the driver to lose control of the bus. A Flat tire is considered one of the possible causes of the accident. The first minutes were chaotic and representatives of the Greek police announced people had been trapped inside the crashed bus. Police cars and ambulances rushed to the scene of the accident and helped the passengers get out. Four of them, suffering minor injuries, were transferred to Agios Andreas Hospital. Later, however, 18 more passengers were hospitalized at their own request. All passengers’ lives are out of danger and are expected to recover soon from their minor injuries.
