    Traumatic brain — Larnaca Teen Dies from Traumatic Brain Injury After Car Park Incident

    traumatic brain — Christos Christaki, a 19-year-old from Larnaca, tragically died on Saturday night due to a traumatic brain injury sustained after being run over in a car park earlier in the week. An autopsy conducted on Monday confirmed the cause of death.

    The incident occurred last Monday night when Christaki was struck by a car driven by another 19-year-old, who is believed to have been a friend. A third teen was in the passenger seat at the time of the accident.

    Initially, Christaki was taken to Larnaca General Hospital where he was intubated. Due to the severity of his injuries, he was later transferred to Nicosia General Hospital and subsequently moved to the American Medical Centre, where he succumbed to his injuries.

    Authorities have confirmed that a breathalyser test administered to the driver returned negative results. In the wake of the incident, police conducted a reconstruction of what happened and reviewed available CCTV footage. Unfortunately, it was discovered that the area of the car park where the accident took place was not covered by any cameras.

    Investigators have been actively seeking statements from witnesses present during the incident, and they continue to look for additional individuals who may provide further insight into the circumstances surrounding the event. Reports suggest that the three teens were part of a larger group celebrating the end of their military service at the time of the accident.

    Christos Christaki passed away at approximately 6:10pm today at the American Medical Center in Nicosia, as confirmed by police. Arrangements are currently being made for a post-mortem examination.

    The unfortunate event took place around 11:30pm on Monday in the main car park behind Mackenzie’s entertainment venues. A group of friends, primarily National Guard soldiers on leave, had just exited a local restaurant and were preparing to get into their vehicles to head home.

    Initial witness statements described the tragic occurrence as a traffic accident. According to these early accounts, a 19-year-old driver, along with a passenger of the same age, accidentally struck Christaki while attempting to approach him so he could board the vehicle. Witnesses reported that the young soldier fell to the ground, suffering a serious head injury.

    However, developments in the investigation led to significant changes in the case’s circumstances. A voluntary statement from the 19-year-old driver prompted Larnaca CID to take over the investigation on Tuesday afternoon, resulting in the arrest of the suspect.

    The driver was detained and later released, but investigations are ongoing under the direction of Larnaca CID. The community is left in mourning, grappling with the loss of a young life under such tragic circumstances.
