According to the same sources, the accident happened on the national road of Patras – Pyrgos, at the height of Tsoukaleiki, when the two vehicles collided violently.

The Patras Traffic Police, EKAV ambulances and the Fire Service led by the commander of the Prefecture of Achaia, Vassilis Soldatos, immediately arrived at the scene, while for some time it was necessary to close the national road at the height of the accident as the large lorry had cut off traffic at the scene.

Tragic game

The news of the death of the couple from Amaliada, fell like a thunderbolt, as both were well known in the area.
