The police association (Sak) on Monday wished a speedy recovery to a colleague who was injured in a traffic accident in Larnaca.

The accident happened on Sunday shortly before 5pm in Kiti, at the airport roundabout, police said.

The motorised unit officer was “hit while on duty, riding his official motorcycle” when a vehicle blocked his way, police said.

He was taken by ambulance to Larnaca general hospital where doctors determined he had suffered an open fracture of his left leg and abrasions to his left hand.

“A representative of Sak was immediately dispatched to the hospital to visit him personally and provide him with whatever support he needs,” Sak said.
