A six-year-old boy was seriously injured on Thursday afternoon (August 21) in Nea Ionia, Volos, following a road accident.
According to local reports, the child was initially taken by ambulance to the Volos General Hospital, but due to the severity of his injuries, doctors ordered his urgent transfer to the General Hospital of Larissa, which has a specialized pediatric surgery clinic.
Conflicting accounts of the incident
The exact circumstances of the accident remain unclear, with the Volos Traffic Police conducting an investigation.
Initial reports suggested the child was riding on a motorcycle with his parents when the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to fall. However, newer accounts indicate the child may have been struck by a moped carrying two young riders while attempting to cross the road.
