The spokeswoman for the General Hospital (AKH) confirmed corresponding media reports to the APA. The 16-year-old’s funeral will also take place on Friday, it was said. At the time, he was traveling at excessive speed in a car with two friends.
The three boys were just in front of the tangent driveway when the 18-year-old driver lost control of the high-horsepower car and skidded. At around 2:30 a.m. the vehicle overturned, crashed into a concrete barrier and caught fire.
The 18-year-old driver and his 16-year-old passenger were initially rescued from the burning car by other road users with burns. Any help came too late for the 17-year-old boy. He was trapped and could not be rescued in time. A short time later, the 17-year-old died from his injuries in a hospital, the police announced.
