In the Mezitli district of Mersin, a female driver suddenly accelerated while waiting for the automatic gate of the site to open, colliding with her neighbor who was entering on foot. It was reported that the neighbor sustained four fractures in her leg and was taken to the hospital.
A female driver, H.K., who arrived by car in front of the site on Yaşar Doğu Street in the Mezitli district of Mersin, began to wait for the door to open.
SUDDENLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND CRUSHED HER NEIGHBOR
As soon as the door began to open, the driver pressed the accelerator, hitting both the door and her neighbor Eşref Asil, who was entering on foot. Upon seeing the accident, witnesses reported it, and health teams were dispatched to the scene. The injured was taken to a private hospital by ambulance. During the initial intervention here, it was learned that Asil had 4 fractures in his leg and would undergo surgery today.
"SHE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE DUE TO DISTRACTION"
Mehmet Murat, the site manager, who provided information about the incident, said, "Our female resident pressed the accelerator instead of the brake due to distraction while entering. Because she pressed the accelerator, she goes into shock at that moment and crashes into the door. She also hits one of our neighbors who was talking in front of the door, and one neighbor escapes at the last moment by pulling aside. A disaster was averted. The injured is currently in the hospital with a broken leg. It is reassuring for us that there is no life-threatening situation."
"THERE IS NO HOSTILITY AMONG NEIGHBORS"
Murat emphasized that there was no hostility or any other situation among the neighbors, stating, "They are understanding; we talked to them about what needs to be done. They help each other. It is not a matter of hostility. It is completely an accident."
It was reported that the investigation regarding the accident is ongoing.
