The first vehicle was carrying the 58-year-old driver’s wife, a 65-year-old woman, and a couple aged 60 and 53, while the second vehicle was carrying the 50-year-old driver’s wife, a 49-year-old woman.
Police officers arrived at the scene to investigate, while the six occupants of the two vehicles were picked up by ambulance crews and transported to a hospital. Specifically, the 58-year-old man and his 65-year-old wife were taken to a private hospital in Limassol, the couple—a 60-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman—were taken to Limassol General Hospital, and the couple—a 50-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman—were taken to Paphos General Hospital.
The 49-year-old woman was subsequently transferred to Nicosia General Hospital for treatment, as medical examinations indicated she may have suffered a ruptured aorta.
The 50-year-old husband of the 49-year-old woman is being treated at Paphos General Hospital, as it was determined that he suffered a serious spinal injury.
At the private hospital where she was taken, the 65-year-old woman, who suffered serious injuries to her face and hip, was admitted for treatment, while her 58-year-old husband was also kept at the hospital as a precaution for observation.
The 53-year-old woman was admitted to Limassol General Hospital after sustaining serious injuries to her sternum, while her 60-year-old husband was discharged from Limassol General Hospital after receiving first aid.
The condition of the five people currently hospitalized is considered to be out of danger.
