Rolling in Egnatia: « They came to enjoy Easter »

« He was allowed to enjoy Easter now. Every year he came. And Christmas and Easter. As soon as we heard on TV on the car accident, we were calling, we got … he didn’t answer. We said it would be in the tunnels. Then we were called from Thessaloniki, her aunt who had rented the car, because the police alerted them found the number of (the sign) of the car and so we learned it. My husband went to recognize them, his brother. Forty years was out. They were working and now they were retired, « he said.
Zero visibility – insufficient marking
The dense fog at the point of the accident was, in general, acknowledged there, a highly dangerous condition, with drivers unable to distinguish the toll station, only when they had arrived there.
« Because I saw that there was a panic, another was going from here, another had e-pass, another had no one, another wanted to go right, another wanted to go left, another wanted to go to the middle of the e-pass, after we got to the toll and we didn’t understand that we got to the toll. With such fog, that we have reached the toll, which we are here, where we know the place, we know the way, who, who, who did not understand that we arrived at the toll. It wasn’t just the movement. It was that the world did not see. He didn’t see. Zero visibility. Shouldn’t anyone be responsible, right now, there? « He said an eyewitness to the same show.
In the toll there was a patrol with a lit lighthouse, they say drivers who passed through the spot, with its crew, sitting inside it, despite movement and zero visibility.
‘Wrong that he had open tolls’
« There are very factors that have contributed to this (the accident). Because, on the one hand, he had so foggy, he had a movement. He was sitting opposite a patrol, with the lighthouse lit, on the right. In such cases, the police had to go down, they could not fog and not see at five meters and be the police next to the patrol. And they were indifferent to everything. No one was interested. «
In the past, concerns have been expressed about the danger of this particular point where there is insufficient marking as local authorities complain.
« He had a thick fog and the big mistake is that the toll should have had open. They have become accidents again, it is the only point we are afraid of, « said Vice Mayor Vassilis Agorastos.
At the same time, investigations are also being carried out by the Fire Brigade about how the fire broke out immediately in vehicles shortly after a fierce collision, which resulted in the two occupants being charred in one of the two cars.
