After an argument at a rest stop in Edirne, a driver identified as O.N., a Dutch citizen, deliberately targeted and injured two employees with his vehicle. The facility manager, Recep Erdoğan, stated that the incident was an attempted murder and that the condition of the injured remains serious.
Recep Erdoğan, the manager of the rest stop in Edirne where Dutch citizen O.N. injured 2 employees by hitting them with his car, claimed that the incident was a deliberate attempt to kill.
CAUGHT AT THE BORDER GATE
O.N. was caught and detained while trying to leave the country at the Hamzabeyli Border Gate opening to Bulgaria. The moment O.N. hit 2 people with his car was captured on security camera.
"HE TARGETED AND INJURED"
Erdoğan, describing the moment of the incident, said, "As far as we saw, it started with an insult to our colleague working in the market. First, they do it at the pump station. Then they start causing trouble inside. When our colleague said that this is not how it works, and they can only shop this way, they cursed at our colleague. As the conversation escalated, a small scuffle occurred there, and the issue moved outside. At that time, our employees and guests tried to remove those people, saying let's not let the situation grow, let's calm it down. Meanwhile, the perpetrators drove their vehicle toward our colleagues. First, they drove toward our colleague working at the pump. He escaped and survived. Then they turned the steering wheel again, this time deliberately targeting, driving their vehicle directly at people, and injured two of our employees."
"THE INCIDENT IS AN ATTEMPTED MURDER"
Erdoğan also touched on the condition of the two injured, saying, "The condition of our employees remains critical. They had treatment at the hospital last night until 3:30 AM. We have now concluded that this incident is completely an attempted murder. We see no other dimension here. Subsequently, they fled toward Hamzabeyli. After fleeing, we did the most appropriate thing, we notified the law enforcement. Thanks to the law enforcement, as far as I know, they detained them in front of the Hamzabeyli border gate. After that, the judicial process began. We don't know what happened afterward."
MOMENTS OF HORROR ON CAMERA
Meanwhile, the moments when the attackers argued with the market employee at the facility and then deliberately drove their vehicle at the employees in front of the market were captured moment by moment on security camera.
