A 51-year-old man, Georgios Georgiou from Limassol, died on Thursday night following a fatal road accident in Limassol.
The collision occurred at around 8.30 p.m. on the old Limassol–Nicosia road, near the Moni flyover, when a van driven by a 41-year-old man heading towards Limassol collided, under circumstances still being investigated, with the motorcycle ridden by Georgiou.
The motorcyclist was critically injured and transported by ambulance to a private hospital in Limassol, where he later died despite doctors’ efforts to save him.
