PAOK Fans Killed in Romania Road Accident on 'Road of Death'

Seven PAOK fans lost their lives in a fatal road accident in Romania on the DN6 highway, known as the 'Road of Death' due to its high accident rate. The fans were traveling to France for the match against Lyon. The DN6, stretching 640 kilometers, is characterized by a lack of traffic lanes and dividers, leading to frequent and serious accidents. In 2023, 325 accidents were recorded with 43 fatalities. A dash cam from a passing truck captured the violent collision between the van carrying the fans and another truck, revealing that the van suddenly found itself in the opposite lane. Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident.
