Six people were injured in a chain-reaction crash involving multiple vehicles on the Girne–Nicosia highway.

A 23-year-old driver, heading toward Nicosia, failed to brake in time for a vehicle that had slowed down due to a traffic jam ahead. The impact caused a domino effect, pushing the second vehicle into a third one that was already stopped.
Among the injured were 24-year-old Sevgi Toprak; 26-year-olds Mahiettin Toprak Halil Gülyaprağı and Merve Gülyaprağı; 28-year-old Kudratullah Babakhan; and 27-year-old Said Gani Malang. All were taken to Nicosia State Hospital.
