Yesterday’s downpour flooded roads around Lympia, 10 people rescued

Torrential rains last night flooded roads in the Lympia area, forcing closures.

A torrent washed away four vehicles on the Lympia roundabout, with the fire service rescuing the four drivers and six passengers.

There were dozens of calls for assistance, mostly to pump water out of buildings and clean up sewer grills.

The Lympia-Athiainou and Lympia-Mosfiloti-Pseyda roads flooded and closed for traffic for several hours.

Earlier yesterday, a hailstorm caused slippery roads, with visibility restricted.
