A Limasol man, who was driving while over the alcohol limit, is in custody today following his involvement in a car accident in Limassol which cost the life of a 28-year-old Philippines. The woman, Vanessa Gentianos, had been sweeping outside on Charilaos Psiloforou street in Limassol when the incident occurred at 6:40am.
