ATHENS, June 19 (Xinhua) -- A car carrying eight migrants crashed in northern Greece on Friday, leaving one dead and seven injured, Greek national news agency AMNA reported.
The accident happened on the outskirts of the city of Kavala. The nationalities of the victim and the injured have not been identified yet by local authorities.
Most of them were undocumented Pakistani migrants, local news site proininews.gr reported, citing police sources.
Similar incidents have occurred often in recent years in northern Greece, as smuggling networks have diverted part of the refugee and migrant flows to the land border between Greece and Turkey.
At least 14,890 people crossed into Greece from the land borders with Turkey in 2019, according to the UN High Commissioner of Refugees (UNHCR) data. Enditem
