According to reports in the Greek media, the bridge in the Diskuri region of the island collapsed due to heavy rain just before the vehicle passed. The elderly couple in the vehicle was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

Heavy wind and rain caused many roads on the island of Crete to be closed to traffic.

The General Secretariat of Civil Protection of Greece sent an urgent coded message to mobile phones, warning people not to go out unless necessary.

While a traffic ban was imposed in some regions, education in primary and secondary schools was suspended for a day.

On the other hand, sea transportation stopped in Rafina and Lavrio ports close to Athens, as well as in Crete, due to strong winds.
