A motorcyclist died after a road accident on Dimokratias Avenue in Keratsini, Attica, shortly after midnight. According to the first reports, he lost control of his motorcycle, which struck the road's central divider and protective barriers before ending up against parked cars. Greek outlets gave his age differently, with one report putting him at 29 and others at 30. The reports do not explain why he lost control, and the conditions of the crash remain unclear.

An EKAB ambulance reached the scene immediately and took the rider, who was badly injured, to the Tzaneio hospital in Piraeus. Medical staff tried to save him, but he died a short time after arriving. A witness waiting for a bus nearby told Greek media that they heard a loud bang and saw the rider's helmet fly off. The same witness said a man who identified himself as a doctor reached the rider before the ambulance arrived, and that the ambulance came about five minutes later.
Investigation
The traffic police department responsible for the area has taken on the preliminary investigation. Its task is to establish the circumstances under which the rider lost control of the motorcycle. Reports published on 29 October still describe the causes of the crash as under investigation.
