A 70-year-old man was hit by a truck while he was crossing the road in Limassol on Tuesday. He was critically injured and taken to hospital.

He had parked at the side of the main Pareklissia to Kellaki road, and was crossing to get to the takeaway food store on the opposite side of the street.

As he was returning to his vehicle, a truck driving in a southerly direction hit the 70-year-old. The circumstances are being investigated, though the man is critically injured.

An ambulance was called and took the man to the Limassol general hospital.

Police from Moni and Limassol traffic police were carrying out investigations into what happened.
