The news of an elderly man being dragged from a truck that dragged him for dozens of meters in Piraeus, on Tuesday morning, is shocking.
More specifically, this morning the 77-year-old was walking on the sidewalk and tried to cross Piraeus.

The 77-year-old was then taken to hospital with injuries and the truck driver was arrested. The old man has escaped danger.
