The Limassol-Paphos motorway towards Paphos remains closed near Paramali following a collision involving two cars and a road-marking vehicle at a roadworks site, police said on Wednesday.

One driver was taken to hospital by ambulance as a precaution for medical examinations. No further details on the person’s condition have been released.

The collision occurred at around 11am, prompting police to close the affected section of the motorway while officers assist motorists, regulate traffic and investigate the circumstances.

Traffic is being diverted onto the old Limassol-Paphos road via the Paramali exit.

Drivers heading towards Paphos can rejoin the motorway at either the Avdimou or Pissouri entrances.

Police have urged motorists to exercise caution, reduce speed, maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and follow the directions of officers on duty while the diversion remains in place.

The motorway remains closed until further notice.
