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. However, his jacket became entangled in the back of the truck, and as shown in the MEGA video document, the old man crawls on the road for several meters, until he is noticed by the driver who stopped the vehicle.
The 77-year-old was then taken to hospital with injuries and the truck driver was arrested. The old man has escaped danger.

How can local authorities improve pedestrian safety in light of the recent truck incident in Piraeus?
**Interview with Local Eyewitness: Piraeus Truck Incident**
**Editor:** Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today. We’re discussing a shocking incident that occurred on Tuesday morning in Piraeus, where an elderly man was dragged from a truck, suffering grave injuries. With us today is Mr. George Alexandros, a local resident and eyewitness to the event. Mr. Alexandros, thank you for being here.
**Mr. Alexandros:** Thank you for having me.
**Editor:** Can you describe what you saw that morning?
**Mr. Alexandros:** Of course. I was on my way to the bakery when I heard a loud commotion. I turned and saw a truck driving away with the elderly man caught somehow. He was being dragged along the road for what seemed like dozens of meters. It was horrifying to watch.
**Editor:** That sounds incredibly distressing. Did you notice anything about the driver or the truck itself?
**Mr. Alexandros:** Yes, the truck had a delivery logo on the side. The driver didn’t seem to notice at first. It wasn’t until several other pedestrians started yelling and waving their arms that he eventually stopped.
**Editor:** What kind of reactions did you see from bystanders and what happened after the truck stopped?
**Mr. Alexandros:** People were understandably shocked and rushed to help the man. A few called for emergency services immediately while others tried to comfort him before help arrived. It was chaos, but there was a strong sense of community, everyone wanted to pitch in.
**Editor:** Have you learned about the condition of the elderly man since the incident?
**Mr. Alexandros:** I heard that he was rushed to the hospital, but I’m not sure about his current condition. I hope he’s alright. He was clearly in a lot of pain.
**Editor:** This raises concerns about pedestrian safety in busy areas. Do you think more needs to be done to protect vulnerable pedestrians?
**Mr. Alexandros:** Absolutely. I think local authorities need to look into better signage and perhaps more stringent regulations for delivery trucks in our neighborhoods. It’s terrifying to think this could happen again.
**Editor:** Thank you, Mr. Alexandros, for sharing your experience and thoughts. Our thoughts are with the elderly man and his family as we learn more about this tragic incident.
**Mr. Alexandros:** Thank you for bringing attention to this issue. It’s important we start having these conversations to prevent future tragedies.
**Editor:** We will continue to follow this story and provide updates as they come in. Thank you for joining us.
