The impact caused the truck to overturn on the highway, while the car was able to come to a stop after crashing into the barriers on the side of the road about 100 meters away. Meanwhile, a car driven by Kaan Koçak, who was following behind, also collided with the overturned truck.
In the chain reaction accident, 4 people were injured, 2 of them seriously. Upon receiving the notification, a large number of fire brigade, police, and medical teams were dispatched to the scene.
