On Thursday, December 5, two separate traffic accidents occurred in Northern Cyprus. A drunk driver crashed into a fence on the Kyrenia-Nicosia highway, and a car overturned on the Gönyeli-Bogazköy road. Thankfully, no injuries were reported in either incident.
According to the police, the first accident took place at around 2:00 a.m. on the 12th-13th kilometer of the Kyrenia-Nicosia main road. A 30-year-old driver, who was under the influence of alcohol, lost control of his vehicle and collided with a garden fence along the roadside. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the driver was arrested for drunk driving.
The second accident occurred at approximately 8:00 a.m. near the Oray Sitesi area on the Gönyeli-Bogazköy road. A 58-year-old driver entered the main road without yielding to oncoming traffic and collided with a vehicle driven by an 83-year-old man heading toward Gönyeli. The impact caused the second car to swerve off the road and overturn.
Medical personnel arrived at the scene to examine the elderly driver, but he declined hospitalization.
