In the Beylikdüzü district of Istanbul, the statement of the driver Şaban Ş, who was arrested after a metrobüs accident in which 1 person lost their life and 57 were injured, has emerged.
"I PRESSED THE BRAKE BUT IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN"
Metrobüs driver Şaban Ş stated, "I started at 12:57. I made my first trip between TÜYAP and Söğütlüçeşme. I rested for 20 minutes. Then I started the Söğütlüçeşme-TÜYAP trip. The weather was rainy. As I approached the Haramidere Industrial Station, I began to descend in a controlled manner. I started to brake 20 meters before the stop. However, the metrobüs did not slow down. I pressed the brake again, but it still did not slow down. When I saw that the metrobüs in front of me was dropping off passengers, I turned the steering wheel to hit the wall next to me to minimize the accident, but I crashed into the metrobüs in front of me," he said.
"CHEAPER THAN OTHERS BECAUSE IT IS A DOUBLE-ARTICULATED BUS"
In the continuation of Şaban Ş's statement, he said, "I did not see how the deceased woman and the injured people were hurt. I was also injured. I got stuck at the steering wheel, the steering wheel crushed my chest. As soon as I got over the initial shock after the accident, I opened the doors and ensured the evacuation of the passengers. My speed was 40. The metrobüs I was using is cheaper than others because it is a double-articulated bus. It was raining on the day of the accident, and the concrete road was slippery. Although I tried to brake, I could not stop," he was reported to have said.
