Toddler critical after crash

A FOUR-YEAR-OLD boy was seriously injured after a road accident near Paphos on Monday night.

The boy’s two older brothers and mother were also injured.

The accident occurred on the main Kallipea to Tsada road when the mother, Evangelia Papaioannou, 27, lost control of the twin cabin pick-up truck that she was driving, crashing it into a nearby field. All four victims were taken to Paphos Hospital.

The two older brothers, Demetris, 8, and Takis, 6, were injured only slightly along with Evangelia and are out of danger. The four-year old boy, Constantinos, however, suffered serious brain injuries, which caused doctors to transfer him from Paphos Hospital to Nicosia General Hospital. His condition yesterday remained critical.
