The community of Heraklion is mourning the tragic death of 36-year-old Rania Bournele, who was fatally struck by a vehicle driven by a 33-year-old French man.

The incident has left residents in shock and disbelief.

The driver, who had no prior connection to the victim, had been examined by a psychiatrist just days before the tragedy.

Dr. Antonis Christonakis, who assessed

the man, revealed that he exhibited delusional behavior, claiming to be searching for his father, a politician. However, the man showed no signs of violence or suicidal tendencies and refused treatment.

"There were no indications that he posed a danger to himself or others," Dr. Christonakis stated. "He was calm and coherent, though delusional. If there had been any warning signs, he would have been hospitalized."

The small village of Anopoli, where Ms. Bournele lived, is grieving the loss of a beloved community member.

The village's cultural association paid tribute to her kind and radiant spirit, expressing the profound impact her death has had on the community.

Police are continuing their investigation to determine the circumstances that led to this devastating incident.

The driver's mental state and potential connection to the tragedy will be central to the investigation as authorities seek answers in this shocking case.
