Tiny Nissan Micra embarks on a Greek adventure gone wrong. details here

Santorini Secrets, a local publication, reported the incident last Friday in Messaria, Santorini. The local government’s social media page also posted a picture of the car stuck between two white walls. It also warned people that the Nissan Micra could not be removed immediately due to the holiday and the poor condition of the car. The local administration further said that it had informed the rental car company that has the vehicle. It is unclear whether the driver received a citation for the accident.

The picture published by the local administration did not show any occupants of the vehicle. Also, none of the passengers were likely to crawl out of the small hatchback. It is not clear whether there was enough room to open the doors and exit the car. The incident has definitely left some deep scratches and dents on the vehicle. The passenger side tire appears to be stuck on the wall, which should hopefully reduce the damage on that side of the hatchback.

Older cities in Europe and other continents were never designed to accommodate cars. Therefore, they have narrow streets and even narrower streets, best suited for people and nothing else.

In this case, the Nissan Micra fourth generation model stuck between the two walls was the K13 variant. It was made after the 2013 facelift. The width of the car is 66 inches, which means that the car is quite small. However, this small width was sufficient to trap it between two walls.
