Driver Charged in Fatal Crash

A young driver faces criminal charges almost a year after a deadly car accident. The crash happened in Aglantzia on July 29, 2025. It caused the death of 20-year-old Kyriakos Antoniou. This is a big step toward finding out who is responsible.

The accident took place on Larnaca Avenue around 1:20 a.m. Kyriakos Antoniou was driving towards Nicosia. He died near the Panepistimiou roundabout. Police investigated the crash carefully. They looked at all the evidence and expert reports.

Investigators believe the driver’s car was going too fast. The speed was higher than the limit of 50 km/h. There were also no brake marks found at the accident scene. This detail is important. Data from the car’s system also helped the investigation.

The Legal Service decided to bring charges. This was based on the technical reports. The case file was returned to the police before for more information. This shows how carefully the case is being handled.

The family of Kyriakos Antoniou wants justice. Their spokesperson, Maria Loui, said they want justice for Kyriakos and two other children. One child was injured in the accident. The family hopes the person responsible will be punished. The case will now go to criminal court.
