The teenager was riding an electric scooter toward Argostoli when, under circumstances still being investigated, he collided with a horse. He was rushed to the General Hospital of Kefalonia, where doctors treated and monitored his condition. Given the severity of his injuries, however, medical staff determined that he needed to be transferred immediately to a hospital equipped with an Intensive Care Unit, according to kefaloniapress.gr.
Authorities arranged for his air evacuation aboard a Hellenic Air Force aircraft to Zakynthos, where a hospital with an available ICU bed was ready to receive him. The teen’s condition is described as serious, and the immediate priority has shifted to ensuring his safe transport and swift access to specialized hospital care.
The person responsible for the horse at the time of the collision was arrested, and a criminal case file has been opened against him. Authorities are now investigating the precise circumstances of the crash, as well as how the horse came to be in the area at the time of the accident.
