Prespes: festivities cancelled due to the fatal car accident

Tragedy with 16 and 18 year olds dead in Prespes

Newsroom December 31 01:53

After the fatal car accident in Lemos, in the municipality of Prespes, which resulted in two young children, 18 and 16 years old, and a 17-year-old boy who was hospitalized with serious injuries at the Papanikolaou Hospital in Thessaloniki, the Municipality of Prespes, in mourning, decided to cancel all festive events.

“Unfortunately, the last day of the year is dark in Prespa. We lost two young children and one more is fighting for his life and I wish from the bottom of my heart that he will make it and return home,” said the mayor of Prespa, George Stergios, expressing his support to the parents of the two unfortunate young people.

“Today, when we should be exchanging wishes, we have to say goodbye to two lads. I want to express my sincere condolences to their parents and brothers and sisters, God give them strength,” said Mr. Stergios and noted, addressing young and old who are behind the wheel, that it takes more than a moment to change everything. “Let Stavros and Kostas be the last ones to leave this way.”

According to what has been made known so far, the 16-year-old’s funeral will take place tomorrow at noon (at 1.30 pm) at St Giorgios’s Church in Platy Prespes.
