"I WAS DRAGGED 200 METERS"
Describing the accident, mother Hülya Büyükyolaçan said, "My granddaughter invited me and my daughter for dinner. After the evening meal, we left with my daughter. I don't remember how far we went, he hit so fast that I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was bent double. When I came to, I realized my leg was broken and my daughter was not there. I was screaming, an ambulance came and took me to the hospital. They told me my daughter was not badly hurt, that she was fine. But in fact, at that moment, my daughter was in very bad shape. I was dragged 200 meters; without the grass there, I might have died too. The grass saved me."
"I WANT JUSTICE FOR MY DAUGHTER"
Büyükyolaçan said, "The driver was drunk; in his statement, he said there were 3 of us on the moped. He said two people were thrown backward; that was a lie. My daughter was in front, I was behind. He was driving very slowly. I want justice for my daughter. My lungs are burning. I want justice, nothing else. My heart is burning, my insides are burning."
Büyükyolaçan stated that she lost consciousness during the incident and was taken to the hospital, adding, "The driver surrendered a day later. There were witnesses at the time of the accident. His relatives came and took the child away in another car."
