A prosecutor on the island of Rhodes, southeastern Greece, has filed felony charges against a 44-year-old man for reckless driving, over his involvement in a car crash that killed two women.
The man, accompanied by police officers and his lawyers, appeared before the prosecutor earlier on Monday and requested time to prepare his defense.
The collision occurred on Sunday afternoon, in the area of Afantou, at the 18th kilometer of the Rhodes-Lindos national road, when the car he was driving smashed into the side of a vehicle driven by a 57-year-old woman coming from the opposite direction, as she tried to turn at a traffic light.
The collision was so severe that the woman’s car rolled over, trapping her and her 26-year-old daughter inside. Rescue crews pulled both women out of the destroyed car unconscious and the hospital confirmed their deaths.
