Driver who killed two in Chania on conditional release, council decides safety measures

eKathimerini —  A 20-year-old motorist who killed two pedestrians last Thursday when he hit them with his car near the Technical University of Crete in Chania was granted conditional release on Monday pending trial on a string of charges including manslaughter through negligence, disturbing the peace and driving without a valid license.

The Georgian national has a driving license which is, however, not recognized in the European Union.

Meanwhile local press reports that Chania city council has now decided to put traffic lights on the spot of the accident before the beginning of the new academic year and also to proceed with looking at the possibility of creating a roundabout at the University junction, where the accident happened, for which a new study will be required.   Chania council also asked Chania Prefecture, who is apparently responsible for that road, to create pedestrian pavements on parts of the road where they are missing.
