The collision which occurred after a truck veered off course in heavy fog, causing the vehicles behind it to smash into it. A few minutes later, another succession of vehicles smashed into each other while trying to drive around the original crash.

Fire fighters, the traffic police and paramedics rushed to the scene, dislodging drivers from their badly damaged vehicles.

Among the victims was a pregnant woman who apparently went into labor and was rushed to the Hippokratio Hospital in Thessaloniki.
