The driver of a car involved in Monday’s fatal accident on the Dhekelia-Larnaca highway which led to the death of a five year old has tested negative for alcohol, but positive in a narcotest, a police spokesman said on Tuesday.
The driver, who is a non-Cypriot, is under arrest and is expected to appear in court on Tuesday to be remanded in custody.
His car hit the vehicle of five. A five year old girl was killed, her mother and brother sustained serious injuries, while her father and other brother suffered minor injuries.
Speaking on CyBC on Tuesday, the police spokesman launched an impassioned appeal to drivers and passengers to buckle up . He spoke a day after a father of two and a five year old girl were killed in separate accidents.
Both fatalities occurred on the day police had launched a campaign on seat belt use.
He said neither the father of two — whose car overturned on the Platres – Limassol road, nor the child killed in a crash on the Dhekelia-Larnaca highway had been wearing seat belts.
He said that it also appeared that no-one in the double pick up truck involved in the second collision — the parents and their three children were wearing a seat belt.
The accident occurred after a car rammed into the back of the pick up and it overturned.
The police spokesman also said it was a matter of urgency that Cyprus re-introduce road cameras to help stem the bloodshed on the roads.
Meanwhile, the driver of the other vehicle involved in the collision on the Platres-Limassol road was questioned and released.
