Two killed in collision between motorcycle and electric scooter in Kavala

Collision on the road to Ammolofoi

The fatal road collision took place on the afternoon of Saturday, 3 October 2026, in the coastal district of Nea Peramos within the Kavala regional unit in northern Greece. A two-wheeled motorcycle operated by a 34-year-old man and an electric scooter operated by a 36-year-old man collided while traveling on the local road toward the Ammolofoi area. The physical force generated by the collision threw both riders several meters from their respective vehicles onto the pavement. Both the motorcycle and the electric scooter sustained extensive structural damage from the impact on the roadway. Emergency medical personnel and local police units were dispatched to the collision site shortly after the incident was reported by people in the vicinity. Responding units secured the immediate area around the collision scene to facilitate emergency operations.

Fatal impact and hospital transfer

Emergency medical responders arrived at the scene near Ammolofoi to evaluate the condition of both individuals involved in the crash. The 34-year-old motorcyclist suffered fatal injuries during the initial impact and died before medical transport could be arranged. Responders found the 36-year-old electric scooter rider alive but suffering from multiple severe injuries across his body resulting from the collision and the subsequent fall. Paramedics administered urgent stabilization procedures at the roadside before loading the injured rider into an ambulance. The emergency medical crew transported the 36-year-old man directly to the General Hospital of Kavala for specialized trauma treatment. Medical staff at the hospital were alerted in advance to prepare the trauma team for his arrival.

Surgical intervention and second fatality

Upon his admission to the General Hospital of Kavala, the medical staff transferred the 36-year-old scooter rider to the operating theater for urgent surgical procedures. Attending surgeons and medical teams worked to treat his multiple traumatic wounds and stabilize his critical condition through the evening. Despite intensive surgical efforts and medical care provided by the hospital doctors, the man remained unable to recover from the extensive trauma. The 36-year-old patient succumbed to his injuries during the early morning hours of Sunday, 4 October 2026. The passing of the scooter driver brought the final casualty count of the Nea Peramos accident to two fatalities.

Preliminary traffic investigation

The Kavala Traffic Police initiated a preliminary inquiry to examine the precise causes and operational factors behind the fatal collision. Investigative officers returned to the roadway leading to Ammolofoi to inspect the physical evidence, analyze the collision marks, and determine the exact points of impact. The investigation is examining the travel speeds, lines of sight, and directional movements of both the motorcycle and the electric scooter leading into the crash. Traffic authorities are also reviewing local roadway conditions and gathering available witness statements to reconstruct the event. The Traffic Department of Kavala will maintain the preliminary investigation until a complete incident report is finalized.
