A serious traffic accident occurred earlier today on the Nicosia-Limassol highway at the Kofinou-Skarinou intersection, involving two trucks. While the exact cause of the crash is still unclear, the collision led to one of the trucks bursting into flames, creating a dangerous situation.
Firefighters, along with ambulances and other emergency responders, rushed to the scene to tackle the fire and assist the drivers. According to Fire Service spokesman Andreas Ketti, three fire engines are on-site working to extinguish the flames. One truck was carrying bales of hay, while the other was transporting fuel, making the fire particularly challenging to control.
One of the truck drivers has been taken to the hospital for treatment, while rescuers are still working to free the other driver from the wreckage.
In response to the accident, all lanes of the highway have been closed in both directions. Motorists are being advised to follow police instructions and take the old Nicosia-Limassol road as an alternative route. Authorities are working to clear the scene and reopen the highway as quickly as possible.
