Two dead, three injured in two-car collision near Corinth

Two teenagers died and three people were injured in a collision between two cars in Corinth, in the northeastern Peloponnese, early on Monday.

The victims were a 16-year-old boy and an 18-year-old woman who were backseat passengers in one of the cars involved in the accident, police said. The car was being driven by a 15-year-old boy who was injured, along with the front-seat passenger, also 18.

The driver of the second vehicle was a 69-year-old British national who had to be taken to hospital. 

The second vehicle slammed into the first when the 15-year-old driver put the car in reverse on the Athens-Tripoli highway, near Tenea.
