The young woman, who ran a red light and collided at high speed with a taxi driven by a 47-year-old professional who was killed, was under the influence of alcohol, initial tests found.

The wife of the 47-year-old who died in the accident is devastated. Yiannis, who was originally from Albania, had managed to set up his home and raise his family in Greece. He was the father of a 12-year-old girl and together with his wife, they worked the taxi day and night so that their child would not miss anything. “He was an honest man who worked and built his life in Greece,” one of his close friends told protothema.gr.

“I have no words for what happened to Yannis and his family. It is tragic, that his child will grow up without a father from his tender age, and his wife, who is a decent woman, will have to realize the loss of Yannis with what courage she has left and bear the burdens of the family. I worked with John for ten years, an honest boy with a pure heart. His wife took the wheel of the taxi by day and John at night for a living. I can’t believe he’s gone so unjustly, really…”
