In Pendik, during a road rage dispute between a car driver and a motorcycle rider, the motorcycle rider's brother stabbed and killed the car driver.
Turan Yılmaz, who was with his wife and disabled son in Pendik, Istanbul, had a road rage argument with a motorcycle rider while driving his car.

The man hit him with a helmet, and his wife was also there. He took a metal pipe and chased, then I heard screams from outside. I ran to see.
