A road accident involving injuries occurred late Thursday night, shortly after 10 PM, on the access road leading to Chania International Airport (CHQ) in western Crete. Emergency services responded to the scene following the collision, which took place under conditions not fully detailed in available reports. Travelers with early morning flights out of Chania should be aware that the airport road may have experienced temporary disruptions overnight. While the situation is likely resolved by morning, visitors planning to travel to or from Chania Airport are advised to allow extra time and check with their accommodation or local radio for any lingering road conditions. The airport road is the primary route serving the terminal, so awareness of traffic incidents in this area is relevant for timely departures.
