A serious traffic accident occurred on July 19, 2026, in Chania, Crete, involving an ambulance from the Emergency Medical Services (EKAB) and a car driven by a nurse. The ambulance was transporting a 53-year-old male patient who had suffered a cardiac arrest at the time of the collision. Witness accounts suggest that the crash happened suddenly and under conditions that are currently under investigation by authorities.

As a result of the crash, the ambulance overturned, leaving two paramedics injured, with one sustaining serious injuries while the other suffered minor injuries. The nurse, who was the only occupant of the car, also experienced injuries but is reported to be in stable condition. Tragically, despite attempts at resuscitation, the patient succumbed to his condition shortly after the accident occurred, raising concerns and prompting further inquiries into the circumstances leading up to the collision.

The Director of Chania Hospital noted that the ambulance was just 500 meters away from the hospital when the incident transpired. Footage from the scene illustrates the force of the impact and has since been shared in the media, highlighting the severity of the accident.
