British tourist remains in critical condition
The latest accident comes as a 20-year-old British tourist continues to fight for his life following a separate ATV crash in the Laganas resort area of Zakynthos.
The young man was seriously injured after the quad bike he was driving collided with a bus on the area’s main road.
Due to the severity of his injuries, he was airlifted to KAT Hospital in Athens, where he remains in a coma in extremely critical condition.
According to the report, his mother travelled from the United Kingdom to be by his side.
Local residents and doctors told the publication that ATV accidents are more common on the island than crashes involving scooters or other types of vehicles.
