It is recalled that this vehicle, which was the same model as the unfortunate Stylian, was among the 82,000 undergoing cars, carrying dangerous airbags.
However, engineer Panagiotis Kestas, in his television statements, said that "the vehicle was involved in an accident about a week ago. The interior of the car has remained intact, all the airbags have been activated and have done the job they had to do, protected the driver and the co -driver. At the front, abroad, the vehicle has been seriously damaged, but no one has been injured. However, corrosion has occurred on the steering wheel and humidity has played an important role so that when the airbag was activated, one or two fragments have been fired upwards. "
The engineer also noted that the driver was clearly escaped as he was tall and had a distance from the steering wheel. "Fortunately, the driver was tall, so he had the chair enough behind the steering wheel and the fragments have passed in front of him and wedged the roof. If the man was not tall and his chair was ahead or if he was himself ahead, the hole would not be on the roof but somewhere else and we would have another victim on this macabre list. "
