Saturday, 27 June 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

A road accident occurred on the Northern Road Axis of Crete (VOAK) near Gazi, west of Heraklion, causing disruption for drivers in the area. A vehicle left the carriageway and came to rest on the central road divider. The incident took place in the evening and caused significant congestion along this major east-west highway, which is one of the primary routes connecting Heraklion to western Crete. Tourists driving between Heraklion and destinations such as Rethymno or Chania via the VOAK should be aware that accidents on this corridor can cause delays, particularly during evening hours when visibility is reduced. If you are travelling by car along the northern coastal route, allow extra time and exercise caution, especially around the Gazi junction. Local emergency services responded to the scene.
