The car, with 12 people inside, failed to stop for a check on the main highway near the northern town of Kavala just after midnight, police said. The ensuing police chase ended in the city of Thessaloniki about 150 kilometers (90 miles) away, when the vehicle ran a series of red lights and crashed into a passing car.
Ten men from Bangladesh, some of whom had been hidden in the trunk of
the car, and two men from Syria were transported to hospital, as was the
Greek driver of the other car. The Syrians were treated and released
and were arrested on suspicion of migrant smuggling. The Greek driver
was also released, while the 10 Bangladeshi men remained hospitalized
with light injuries, police said.
Thousands of people continue to enter Greece from Turkey, either from
the coast to nearby Greek islands or through the land border in far
northeastern Greece, despite European efforts to stop migrant flows.
Most hope to make their way to more prosperous northern European
countries.
