The 42-year-old man in charge of the company that was carrying out the road works where a massive pile up occurred on Sunday is scheduled to face the examiner in Veria today to address charges of disrupting traffic safety by negligence.
The 39-year-old truck driver who caused the serious accident will face the examiner on Thursday. He faces serial manslaughter and bodily harm by negligence charges. In the preliminary examination the driver claimed that after the Polymylos poll booth his truck’s break system failed.
Special expert Panagiotis Madias told To Vima on Monday that the driver’s claims raise many questions, as if his breaks overheated the truck wheels should have seized up or caught on fire. The expert further notes that the 39-year-old should have taken measures to slow down his speed, since he claims to have been aware of a problem with his breaks. Mr. Madias pointed out that investigation must focus on “other parameters” rather than the driver’s claims.
