Back to newsA fatal road accident occurred on the BOAK highway in Crete, involving a motorcycle and a van. The motorcyclist died at the scene following the collision. The BOAK is Crete's main east-west arterial road connecting Heraklion to the eastern parts of the island, and incidents on this route can cause significant traffic disruption. Tourists driving or renting vehicles in Crete are reminded to exercise caution on this highway, particularly on long straight stretches where speed and overtaking are common factors in collisions. Always wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle or scooter, ensure your rental vehicle insurance is valid, and allow extra travel time when heading east toward Agios Nikolaos or Sitia in case of road closures or delays caused by emergency response activity.
