The details of the tragedy that unfolded earlier in Sivota when a 62-year-old woman was fatally injured in a paragliding accident are shocking.

More specifically, today at noon, a lessor of marine recreational equipment operating in the area was parachuting with the woman when a strong storm started.

The lessor started to pull the woman with the rope towards the boat and about 100 meters before reaching the boat the woman was cut off for an unknown reason from the tow rope and found herself in the sea.

The woman was picked up by a private boat which took her ashore but unfortunately she had died.

The 34-year-old operator of the boat was arrested and a preliminary investigation will be carried out by the first port department in Sivota which belongs to the port authority of Igoumenitsa.
