Survivor of PAOK Bus Crash Claims Steering Malfunction

A survivor of the fatal bus crash in Romania involving PAOK fans has told a doctor that the van's steering locked during an overtaking maneuver due to the lane assist system. The fan, who was in shock, stated he was with the mother of one of the victims and that the family had been informed. However, the exact cause of the accident remains under investigation, as lane assist typically disengages when the driver uses a turn signal to change lanes. Dashcam footage shows the van overtaking and then losing control, colliding head-on with an oncoming truck. Seven PAOK fans died and three were injured in the crash.
