Tragedy for PAOK Fans: 'Steering Wheel Locked During Overtake,' Survivor Reveals

Seven PAOK fans died and three were injured in a tragic car accident in Romania while traveling from Greece to France to attend a team match. According to a survivor’s testimony to the doctor who treated him, the van’s steering wheel “locked” during an overtake due to the lane assist system. The van collided head-on with an oncoming truck after attempting to overtake another vehicle. A dashcam from the truck captured the moment of the impact, which was extremely violent. The victims and survivors come from Thessaloniki, Alexandroupoli, and Katerini. Local communities are in mourning. The report on the accident has been delivered to the Attorney General, and potential criminal offenses will be investigated. The investigation will focus on the causes of the accident and the possible malfunction of the lane assist system.
