A third chain-reaction collision in a single day occurred on the Limassol-Nicosia motorway, causing renewed traffic disruption.
According to police, at around 2pm on Sunday, 18 October, four vehicles were involved in a collision near Agios Tychonas, resulting in the closure of the right-hand traffic lane.
The incident was the third multi-vehicle collision recorded on the same motorway within a matter of hours, following two earlier crashes involving a combined total of nine vehicles.
Three collisions, 13 vehicles
Earlier in the day, five vehicles collided near Agios Tychonas, forcing the temporary closure of the right-hand lane.
Traffic was later restored, although heavy congestion continued to affect the area.
That collision had been preceded by another crash involving four vehicles near Parekklisia.
In that case as well, the right-hand lane was temporarily closed before being reopened to traffic.
In total, 13 vehicles have been involved in the three separate collisions recorded on the Limassol-Nicosia motorway on Sunday.
