PAOK Fans Die in Van Crash in Romania

A tragic road accident in Romania, near Timisoara, claimed the lives of seven PAOK fans traveling to a football match in France. The van they were using was rented from a company in Edessa, without a professional driver. The fans were taking turns driving the vehicle. The owner of the rental company, shocked by the news, is returning to Greece urgently. The tragedy has plunged the victims' families and the football community into mourning, while investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing. The rental company is in a state of shock, as the employee who handed over the van to the victims is of the same age as them.
