A 47-year-old man crashed his car in the sea area of Akti Vassiliadis, near Gate E1 of the central port of Piraeus on Tuesday.

He was transferred to the Tzaneio Hospital where it was found he had been drinking. In a detailed announcement about the incident, the Coast Guard said it did not cause marine pollution.

The vehicle was recovered from the sea later in the day. A preliminary investigation has been launched by the central Port Authority of Piraeus.
