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.

**Interview with Local Witness about Shocking Incident in Piraeus**
**Editor:** Today, we have with us Maria Petrou, a witness to the harrowing incident in Piraeus earlier this week, where an elderly man was dragged from a truck for dozens of meters. Maria, thank you for joining us.
**Maria:** Thank you for having me. It’s a very tragic situation.
**Editor:** Can you describe what you witnessed on that morning?
**Maria:** I was just walking to the market when I heard a commotion. I turned around and saw the truck moving at a high speed. It was dragging the poor man who had somehow gotten caught. It was horrifying to see; people were screaming for the driver to stop.
**Editor:** That sounds incredibly distressing. How were bystanders reacting at the moment?
**Maria:** Many people were frantic. Some tried to signal the driver, while others rushed to help. There was a lot of panic because we all knew something terrible was happening.
**Editor:** What happened after the truck finally stopped?
**Maria:** When the truck finally came to a halt, we all rushed over. It was heart-wrenching to see the man in such a state. Emergency services arrived quickly, and they took care of him, but it was clear he was severely injured.
**Editor:** Have you heard any updates about the victim’s condition since then?
**Maria:** I haven’t heard anything specific, but I heard from another witness that he was taken to the hospital. I really hope he’s okay.
**Editor:** This incident must have left a significant impact on the community. What do you think can be done to prevent such events in the future?
**Maria:** I think we need more awareness about traffic safety and perhaps more stringent regulations for truck drivers, especially in areas where there are a lot of pedestrians. This kind of tragedy should not happen again.
