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.
