Limassol has been hit by fresh tragedy after Ibrahim Al Aawad, a 24-year-old from Syria, died from injuries sustained in a hit-and-run collision on Solonos Street on 26 July.
The crash took place at around 10.45pm, when Al Aawad was riding an electric personal mobility scooter and collided with a car under circumstances still under investigation. The driver of the car fled the scene afterwards.
Al Aawad was taken by ambulance to a private hospital, where he was treated in critical condition. Despite doctors' efforts, he later died of his injuries.
Police also announced earlier the same day the death of a 17-year-old motorcyclist, who died while being treated for serious injuries sustained in a separate road accident on 2 August.
