A road accident occurred in the Heraklion area during the early afternoon, involving a collision between a motorcycle and a truck at the intersection leading toward Petrinos Pyrgos and Prassa. Emergency services responded promptly, with the national ambulance service EKAB, local police, and roadside assistance all dispatched to the scene.
Drivers traveling in that part of Heraklion should expect possible traffic disruption and delays near the intersection. Tourists renting motorcycles or scooters in Crete are reminded that intersections on rural and semi-urban roads can be particularly hazardous, especially when sharing the road with heavy vehicles. Exercise caution, reduce speed at unmarked or unfamiliar junctions, and ensure you hold a valid license for the vehicle category you are operating, as Greek traffic law is strictly enforced.
