88-year-old British man dies in vehicle fire after getting stuck in Avgorou
An 88-year-old British national tragically died after being trapped in a vehicle fire in Avgorou. The man, a resident of Pachna, was found dead outside the front passenger door of his car on a dirt road, having apparently attempted to escape the blaze. The fire broke out after his vehicle became stuck in mud while he and his care worker were visiting an animal shelter.
According to police, the man and his care worker, accompanied by his dog, became lost and drove onto a dirt road where the vehicle got stuck. While the man tried to free the vehicle, sparks ignited dry reeds nearby, causing the fire to spread rapidly. The care worker escaped and sought help, but the man remained behind and later died in the fire. Tragically, the dog also perished in the blaze. Authorities continue to investigate the exact circumstances surrounding the incident.
