A 25-year-old man from Xylophagou died early on Tuesday after his motorcycle crashed into a garbage truck on the village’s Michalakis Vrahimi Street.

Andreas Kota was not wearing a helmet when he crashed into the truck which seems to have gotten into the rider’s lane, police also said. The truck driver has been arrested.

All in all, a total of 12 motorcyclists lost their lives in traffic accidents all across Cyprus this year – so far.
