Prehistory

On the evening of Saturday, October 5, a teenager fell from the height of the fourth floor of an apartment building in Evozmos. Having received numerous injuries, he was hospitalized in very serious condition.

In an interview with ERT, his mother stated: “We are devastated. I can't be in this house, I want to be here with my child. Before this accident happened, he called me. “Mom, I'm just walking, I won't be long“, he said. Then we found out what happened. My child has nothing to do with parkour. I can't imagine what could have happened. Many thanks to all the people for their support. All I want is for him to get better.”

How the accident happened in Thessaloniki

The teenager's father said: “My son went to this construction site with 2-3 friends to take a walk. He didn't do parkour, as they say. He went for a walk. He's not a sports guy, he can't do those things. He didn't do parkour or take on any challenges. There was glass in that place that was not installed correctly, there was dirt on it, and it was not clearly visible. He didn't notice this and fell. Luckily the ground was clean, there were no objects, and he didn’t hit his head more seriously.”.

The boy suffered a traumatic brain injury and his arms and legs were also injured. He was examined, including a CT scan, and late at night he was operated on for traumatic brain injuries. Later information appeared that, fortunately, a tomography showed the absence of a traumatic brain injury, and the operation was performed for injuries to the limbs.
