A truck carrying clover overturned on the Hacılı Pass on the Samsun-Ankara highway under the driver H.B., causing one lane of traffic to be closed. The accident occurred when the truck overturned into a ravine, but fortunately, the driver escaped uninjured. Police were called to the scene by bystanders who witnessed the incident.
Authorities quickly arrived at the scene and closed off one lane of the Samsun-Ankara highway to allow for emergency response vehicles to access the area. The priority was to safely remove the truck from its precarious position in the ravine, which required the assistance of a tow truck. Traffic was slowed in the area as emergency crews worked to clear the wreckage and ensure the safety of other motorists traveling along the highway.
The driver, H.B., was reportedly shaken but uninjured in the accident and was able to provide authorities with a statement about what had occurred. The cause of the accident was not immediately clear, and an investigation was launched to determine the factors that led to the truck overturning. The priority for emergency responders was to ensure the safety of all individuals involved and to prevent any further accidents or traffic disruptions on the busy highway.
As emergency crews worked to clear the wreckage and recover the truck from the ravine, traffic along the Samsun-Ankara highway was temporarily disrupted. Motorists were advised to find alternate routes or to expect delays as authorities worked to resolve the situation and reopen the closed lane of the highway. The incident served as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices and the need for vigilance on the road to prevent accidents and injuries.
Ultimately, the truck was successfully removed from the ravine and traffic flow on the Samsun-Ankara highway returned to normal. The driver, H.B., was able to continue on his journey after providing a statement to authorities, and the cause of the accident remained under investigation. While the incident caused temporary disruptions and delays, the quick response of emergency crews and the cooperation of motorists helped to minimize the impact of the accident on traffic in the area. Authorities reminded all drivers to exercise caution and follow traffic laws to prevent similar accidents in the future.
