The traffic accident happened while Charalambou Nikolaou and his daughter were trying to get into a car in which their related couple was also. A passing vehicle, moving at breakneck speed, hit Nikolaos' vehicle violently, causing it to catch fire.
Charalambos Nikolaou was killed instantly, his daughter was injured and the related couple was critically injured. Seconds earlier, the victim's daughter urged her father to get on the sidewalk because she heard a car approaching at high speed.
