Back to newsA road accident occurred overnight on the BOAK highway near Chania, resulting in one person injured. The BOAK is the main east-west arterial road crossing northern Crete, heavily used by tourists traveling between Chania and other parts of the island. Emergency services responded to the scene. Visitors driving along this route, particularly at night, should exercise caution as sections of the BOAK include ongoing construction zones, reduced lighting, and sharp curves. If you are traveling between Chania and Heraklion or Rethymno by car, allow extra time, keep speeds moderate after dark, and stay alert for emergency vehicles and potential traffic slowdowns near the accident area until the road is fully cleared.
