According to the police, the charred remains found last night while firefighters were extinguishing a fire in a passenger car and nearby low vegetation on the shoulder of the Egnatia Highway at the “Mavrachomata” location, in Oreokastro, Thessaloniki.

According to police reports, the 30-year-old driver lost control of his vehicle under circumstances that remain unclear at this time and crashed into a Public Power Corporation (PPC) utility pole near the Oreokastro toll plaza. As a result of the collision, the car burst into flames, while the driver appears to have been thrown into an adjacent field, which also caught fire.

The Fire Department’s Operations Center was notified of the incident shortly after 8:00 p.m., and fire crews rushed to the scene immediately. After bringing the fire in the vehicle and the field under control, they located the man’s body outside the car.

The exact causes of the accident are being investigated by the Thessaloniki Traffic Police Sub-Directorate.
