TRIBECA Turmoil: 2 Crashes, 6 Hurt, Highway Chaos

At night, June 1, Tribeca witnessed two dramatic accidents, leaving a trail of destruction and injured individuals.

The first incident occurred on the parking lot of a commercial center, while the second took place on the M1 highway, just outside the center.

At around 9:30 pm, a Jeep collided with a white Suzuki Swift on a crossing area on the parking lot.

The Suzuki Swift was lifted and projected onto its right side, landing on another vehicle that was parked nearby.

Four vehicles were involved in the accident, and four people were extracted from the Suzuki Swift and transported to Victoria Hospital in Candos by the SAMU.

The incident occurred mere yards away from a designated space for rally cars, where demonstrations were taking place at the same time.

A crowd quickly gathered around the scene, which was barricaded by metal barriers from the commercial center. The condition and identity of the injured individuals are currently unknown.

Just over an hour later, at around 11:30 pm, a second accident occurred on the same level as the first, but this time on the highway outside.

A car carrying several young passengers veered off course and slammed into a guardrail.

A passenger trapped in the rear of the vehicle had to wait for the arrival of firefighters before being extracted from the wreckage.

The driver and other passengers managed to escape with injuries to their head and legs.

The accident caused a temporary blockade on both lanes of the highway, as the guardrail from the southbound lane was dislodged and thrown onto the northbound lane.

Another SAMU was called to the scene to transport the injured individuals to hospital.

Firefighters worked tirelessly until 1 am to dismantle the guardrail and clear the road, allowing traffic to resume.
