THESSALONIKI. There was almost a serious accident on Friday at 13:20 when the Thessaloniki - Corfu coach started rolling backwards and only the metal barrier prevented it from going over the edge.

The coach had parked at a service station near Grevena and most passengers had got off. There were, however, still a few on the coach and when they felt the vehicle slowly moving they quickly jumped off.

It is thought that the handbrake was off or had been released but fortunately nothing serious happened.
