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 seen 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.
