Police are investigating the circumstances under which a 19-year-old woman was critically injured in a traffic collision that happened in Limassol on Monday night. The 19-year-old is currently under care at the Nicosia general hospital.

According to police announcement shortly after midnight, while the 19-year-old was driving on the new harbour road accompanied by a 17-year-old passenger, her vehicle collided sideways with a car driven in the same direction by a 43-year-old man also with a passenger.

As a result of the impact, the two cars were thrown to the left and smashed into a guard rail, and the car in which the 19-year-old and 17-year-old were travelling spun into the road. The 19-year-old was thrown out of the vehicle and seriously injured.

She was subsequently transferred to Nicosia general hospital ICU. The 17-year-old was kept at the Limassol general hospital for observation and does not appear to have suffered any serious injuries.
