Saved after cliff plunge

TWO 60-year-old men were being treated in hospital yesterday after their car ended up going over a 70-metre cliff. The two, both from Larnaca, were in the Dipotamou dam area in the Larnaca district when the car went over the cliff at around 6.45am yesterday.

Members of the special disaster response unit (EMAK) rushed to the scene where they managed to pull the men out of the highly inaccessible area using harnesses and their vehicle. The 60-year-olds were then rushed to hospital.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
