Police and fire forces are present at the scene.

There had been a protest in Thessaloniki as well, where dozens of residents of the Agia Sofia settlement in Diavata burned bins and tires, as part of their protest against the death of the 17-year-old.

Drivers are trapped on the old National Road Athens - Corinth, as reported by ANT1 reporter, Georgia Lagou.
