Brit couple killed in horror buggy accident plunged 200m into ravine in Santorini

A young British couple were killed in a horror buggy accident while holidaying on the Greek island of Santorini.

The pair, both believed to be 26, died when the rented buggy plunged into a 200-metre deep ravine.

Local media reported the tragic accident happened close to Mount Profitis on the popular island on Sunday.

Rescue crews struggled to get to the British pair because the crash took place in a remote area.

They were declared dead at the scene and their bodies eventually removed from the ravine.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office confirmed the deaths of two Britons in the crash.

A spokesman said: “Our staff are assisting the families of two British people who have died on the island of Santorini.”

Another driver died in the same spot last year and locals described the road as a “death trap”.
