Child in intensive care after car crash
A seven-year-old girl is in intensive care after being involved in a car crash in Paphos on Thursday night, police said on Friday.
Paphos police’s assistant operations director Michalis Nikolaou said that at around 7.40pm on Thursday, a car driven by a 21-year-old man collided with a car driven by a 30-year-old woman.
There were three children in the woman’s car; her seven-year-old daughter, and two other relatives, aged seven and 14.
The woman and her daughter did not suffer any serious injuries, but the 14-year-old was kept overnight at the Paphos general hospital as a precaution, and the other seven-year-old was taken to the children’s intensive care unit in Nicosia.
The 21-year-old man was also kept in hospital overnight as a precaution, while a drug test performed on him came back negative.
The police’s investigation into the matter is ongoing.
