Black spot claims new victim

AN AYIA Napa supermarket owner was killed yesterday when he lost control of his brand new pick-up truck on a bend and crashed into an orchard off the Liopetri to Frenaros road.

The fatal crash came less than 12 hours after two people died in a horrific three-car smash.

Costakis Yiorgos Constantinou, 33, from Dherynia, crashed at around 6.30 am, and was taken to Paralimni General Hospital. He was then moved to Larnaca General Hospital where doctors were unable to save him.

The accident occurred at the same spot where a 17-year-old motorcyclist was killed four years ago.

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.
