"Jealousy" series lead actor Özgü Namal spoke after the traffic accident she had yesterday morning with her children. The famous actress stated that the seatbelt saved their lives, saying, "If we hadn't been wearing seatbelts, there would have been a much bigger accident today."

FRIGHTENING ACCIDENT ON THE SET ROAD

Özgü Namal, the lead actor of the series "Jealousy" aired on NOW TV, had a traffic accident yesterday morning while heading to the set with her children and driver in Beykoz. It was reported that Namal, her two children, and her driver were slightly injured in the accident.

"IF WE HADN'T WORN SEATBELTS, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH BIGGER ACCIDENT"

According to the news by Birsen Altuntaş, the famous actress, speaking at an event she attended today after the accident, detailed the events. Emphasizing that the seatbelt significantly reduced the impact of the accident, Namal said: "We took the turn slowly. My friends apparently couldn't handle the turn. The children were very scared. God protected us. I couldn't breathe for 10-15 minutes due to the compression in my ribs. We are very, very good. The seatbelt was on. If we hadn't been wearing seatbelts and were going fast, there would probably have been a much bigger accident today."

"IT WAS A HUGE RED CAR"

Namal stated that they realized the vehicle they collided with was a fire truck after the accident. While recounting those moments, she said, "I was really scared. And we narrowly escaped. The only thing I remember is a very big red car. It was a fire truck, I realized it later."
