Terrible Accident
Illegal street racing at Limanakia Vouliagmenis
Racing is not a bad thing. It’s an exciting sport that requires training, discipline and skill. But the streets are no place for racing. Unfortunately, any young person can get into a car and drive. No experience, no talent, no discipline. All of this while innocent drivers use the streets for their day to day activities.
This is what happened 2 days ago, Thursday, 12th of March. 2 young teen drivers died due to illegal racing, 3 innocent people died and 2 were severely injured. The Police found messages on their mobile phones that they would street race that night. Young Thanasi and Jim had been talking for some time about street racing. That night they both stole their parent’s cars and decided to hit the streets. As they were racing at the curves of Limanakia,Vouliagmenis, it looked like Jim was having the lead. Thanasi saw this and was mad and decided to overtake him and that’s how it all happened. Thanasi decided to overtake him at the wrong time, it was a curve and Thanasi with no experience hit the gas and went over to the opposite lane. On the other side a car was coming with approximately 120 KM per hour. It hit Thanasi. Thanasi was wearing a seatbelt but with the speed he was going he couldn’t be saved. In the other car 3 innocent people died. The limit was 100 KM but it looked like they were going with 120 KM.
