Refugees killed as car plunges off cliff

A PAKISTANI smuggler carrying refugees to Greece drove his car off a cliff after being chased by police, leaving four dead.

Health authorities said that four other refugees and the Pakistani driver survived the horrifying plunge off a 90-foot cliff near the town of Kavala, east of Thessaloniki, but suffered injuries.

Police said the accident occurred when the driver ignored police orders to stop on a main road, turned onto a smaller road and lost control of the vehicle.
