2025 A British woman has died in a horror crash after a vehicle ploughed into a bakery as she sat outside on holiday at a tourist hotspot in Greece. It's left her husband fighting for


his life. The driver is reported to have lost control of his vehicle before crashing into the bakery in Tigaki, Greece, with the windows shattered and the couple, who are said to have been


sitting at tables outside, apparently being dragged along. Mega, a local news outlet, has reported the driver was on his way to the bakery, on the island of Kos, when the devastation struck.


The driver has also been injured with all three taken to hospital. The driver suffered minor injuries while the woman was sadly pronounced dead at the hospital. Her husband is said to


remain in a critical condition in hospital and is receiving treatment, reports Mirror. A bakery worker said the driver was turning to enter the bakery and appeared to lose control of his


vehicle. She said: "The driver was in a state of shock, clutching his head, shouting 'what happened, what did I do?'" Article continues below The Traffic Police in Kos

control and pinned the couple against a wall. Harish Solanki, 86, was struck while walking along the town of Candolim in Goa, along with his 81-year-old wife Chandrakanta. The pair were both


rushed to hospital with critical injuries, where Mr Solanki was later pronounced dead. The couple had left their hotel just after 10am on May 2 and were walking along the main road when the


car veered towards them and crushed them. Police identified the vehicle as a rental, which was being driven at speed when the driver lost control of the car. According to Calangute police,


the Brits were rammed by 48-year-old Vicky Jain. Officers say the car veered on to the wrong side of the road after Jain lost control, before mounting the pavement and hitting the couple. Mr


Jain, a resident of Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, was arrested - and the rental car he was driving was left extensively damaged. Calangute police registered an offence under various sections


of the BNS against Jain for “driving his vehicle in a rash and negligent manner without taking proper care and caution”. Article continues below Tigaki is a small, seaside village and resort

sun-drenched holiday. While other nationalities also visit Tigaki, there is said to be a noticeable presence of British visitors. FOR THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS AND STORIES FROM ACROSS THE
