We're reading in the early afternoon when we hear screech-thunk. Out on the balcony we're not alone as there are viewers from balconies along the road. A girl in a fairly posh black BMW has tried to cross three lanes of traffic at an intersection without traffic lights and been broadsided. It's surprising that there isn't more of this in Cypriot traffic. Half an hour of discussion with the young man who hit her (having had, in the far lane, limited opportunity to see her coming) and various bystanders cum witnesses. No police, though the station is only a block away, close enough in fact for a policeman to have looked out and shrugged his shoulders.
