Greek police said on Sunday a car carrying 12 migrants has run through a red light and crashed into a vehicle coming from a side street, killing its driver, a 64-year-old Greek man. One migrant was seriously injured and three others were slightly injured in the accident on the old Kavala-Thessaloniki road in northern Greece, police said. Some of the migrants were found in the sedan's trunk. The driver of the car carrying the migrants has been arrested, the Associated Press (AP) reported. According to police, the driver is a trafficker who was taking migrants west, toward the Greek city of Thessaloniki. When asked by AP whether the trafficker's car was being pursued, a police spokesman said no. However, other police sources said the car might have been monitored by authorities. All spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing.
