A traffic accident occurred on Saturday afternoon, July 11, on the coastal road (paraliaki) in Sitia, eastern Crete. A car struck a 19-year-old pedestrian, and an ambulance from EKAB (the Greek National Emergency Medical Service) responded to the scene. The incident took place on one of Sitia's main seafront roads, which is commonly used by tourists walking along the waterfront area. Visitors in Sitia should exercise caution when crossing or walking along the coastal road, particularly during busy afternoon hours when traffic increases. Pedestrian crossings are not always clearly marked or observed by drivers in Greek coastal towns. If you witness a road emergency in Crete, the emergency number is 112, which connects to all services including EKAB. Further details on the condition of the injured person have not been confirmed.
