"it was initially reported that technical problems were the cause of the accident. One of the three surviving fans testified that at the moment of overtaking, the steering wheel locked up and the driver was unable to return to his lane.
"
"It should be noted that indeed, according to http://parapolitika.gr information, the van’s first registration in Greece was on 16/6/2017, when there was no EU requirement for the Lane Assist system.
"
“The van carrying the PAOK fans did not have a Lane Assist system,” Antonis Xylourgidis, lawyer for the car rental company in Katerini from which the “fatal” van was rented, told http://parapolitika.gr.

"The emergency lane-keeping system is a driver assisting system that should provide warning to the driver and correct
the trajectory only when the driver is unintentionally leaving the lane

Rumuńskie media porozmawiały chwilę po wypadku z kierowcą TIR-a. Okazał się nim być Polak z 34-letnim doświadczeniem w zawodzie. "Jechałem normalnie, a on wjechał prosto we mnie. Wpadł prosto pod koła. Nigdy czegoś podobnego nie widziałem" — powiedział mężczyzna w rozmowie z dziennikiem "Libertatea".

The truck driver involved in the traffic accident with the van is shocked. Speaking to a Romanian media outlet, the Polish truck driver said “I’ve been driving for 34 years and have never seen anything like this in my life. I’ve driven over 1,000,000 kilometers and this is the first time I’ve encountered such conditions.”
It should be noted that indeed, according to parapolitika.gr information, the van’s first registration in Greece was on 16/6/2017, when there was no EU requirement for the Lane Assist system.

Case No.2
Motor Vehicle Accidents due to long-term exposure of a
driver to highly toxic methanol vapours, classified as a pesticide, while driving and spraying the windscreen with a windscreen washer fluid containing toxic methanol, which affects the driver's nervous system, causing loss of ability to drive and control a motor vehicle
Windscreen washer fluid containing methanol runs down onto the windscreen sill, where it evaporates, and toxic methanol vapours enter the car interior through the ventilation system. The driver inhales these toxic methanol vapours while driving, which can lead to loss of control of the vehicle and, as a result, can cause a car accident in 1 in 1,000 cases.
