A serious road accident has occurred on the BOAK (Northern Road Axis of Crete), the main east-west highway running along Crete's northern coast, near the Kako Oros (Bad Mountain) area. Emergency services have been alerted and are responding to the scene. Details remain limited as the situation is developing. Tourists traveling by car or rental vehicle along the northern coastal route should expect potential delays and traffic disruption in that stretch of the BOAK. If you are planning to drive between major northern cities such as Heraklion, Rethymno, or Chania, allow extra time and monitor local updates. Where possible, consider delaying your journey until the road is cleared. Follow instructions from traffic officers on site and keep a safe distance from the accident area.
