Motorcyclist dies after car collides with bike on Kifisias Avenue in Marousi

The collision

A motorcyclist died on Sunday, 15 November 2026, after a passenger car collided with the motorcycle on Kifisias Avenue at its junction with Penteli Avenue in Marousi. Greek outlets disagree on the time: iefimerida and Kathimerini place the crash at about 16:00, while other reports describe it as happening at midday. The conditions under which the collision happened remain unclear, and no source has explained how the driver lost control.

After the impact the car left its lane and struck an electricity pole, then a protective guardrail. Eyewitnesses cited by SKAI said the car rode over the dividing barriers and stopped a few centimetres short of the opposite carriageway. Photographs published by iefimerida showed the car on top of the guardrail.

Hospital and emergency response

The rider was taken to KAT hospital, where he died despite efforts to save him, according to the most recent report. Earlier reports had named the Red Cross hospital as the destination and described the injured person as critical, so the hospital details changed as the reporting developed. Fire services sent two vehicles with six firefighters to the scene to help with the response.

Traffic disruption

The crash closed traffic lanes in both directions of Kifisias Avenue, causing long queues of cars in Marousi. Drivers in the area were urged to take alternative routes where possible, and outlets reported significant delays at the site. No information has been published about other vehicles involved or the total number of people in the cars.

Open questions

Reports so far give no account of the cause of the collision or whether other vehicles were involved. Authorities had not yet released a formal statement on the circumstances in the reports reviewed.
