PAOK Fan Reveals Steering Wheel 'Locked Up' During Overtaking in Fatal Bus Crash

A survivor of the tragic bus crash in Romania, a PAOK fan returning from a match, revealed that the steering wheel locked up during an overtaking maneuver, potentially due to the lane assist system. This testimony adds a new dimension to the investigation into the cause of the accident. Lane assist, while intended to be helpful, can cause issues if the driver attempts to change lanes manually, as the system tries to return the vehicle to its original lane. The exact cause of the crash will be determined by the ongoing investigation. The doctor who shared the testimony, Dimitris Koukoulas, was at the scene of the accident and provided assistance.
