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.

**Editor**: Good evening, and thank you for joining us today. We have a special guest, Mr. George Papadopoulos, who witnessed the distressing incident involving an elderly man in Piraeus. George, can you tell us what you saw?
**George**: Thank you for having me. It was an incredibly shocking sight. I was just finishing my morning coffee at a café when I heard a commotion. I saw a truck moving erratically, and then I noticed the elderly man being dragged alongside it.
**Editor**: That sounds horrifying. How did the crowd react at the moment?

**Editor**: Was the truck moving fast? How far did the man get dragged?

**Editor**: Were you able to see if the elderly man was injured?
**George**: Yes, it was heartbreaking. When the truck finally stopped, the man was clearly in distress. Paramedics arrived quickly and took him away, but it was a very traumatic scene for everyone.
**Editor**: That must have been difficult to witness. What steps do you think should be taken to prevent such incidents from happening again?
