A 37-YEAR-OLD Romanian man was killed in the early hours of yesterday while pushing his broken-down car down the Larnaca-Ayia Napa road, when a Cypriot driver slammed into the back of the vehicle.
According to the British base at Dhekelia , the Romanian man and a compatriot friend were attempting to push the car on to the side of the road when the accident happened.
However another driver came round the bend and crashed into the back of the car, killing the 37-year-old and seriously injuring his friend, who had to undergo surgery.
Dhekelia police spokesman, Lefteris Eleftheriou, yesterday said the Bases’ police had not yet been allowed to interview the injured Romanian.
The Greek Cypriot driver was also treated in Larnaca General Hospital for minor injuries.
The Dhekelia-Ayia Napa road was closed off for around four hours as Dhekelia fire services cleared the scene of debris.
