In the Efeler district of Aydın, a female driver allegedly under the influence of alcohol drove her car into a neighborhood market set up on a street. Crushing watermelon and melon stalls, she caused great panic and fled the scene quickly, ignoring the reactions of the citizens.
In the historical district market set up on Tuesdays in Zafer Mahallesi, Efeler district of Aydın, a rare and dangerous incident occurred. A female driver, traveling in her car on 106th Street, found herself facing the market set up ahead on the road.
SHE ENTERED THE MARKET WHILE TRYING TO REVERSE
Expected to reverse her vehicle due to the market stalls and crowd ahead, the driver made a move that stunned everyone. The woman, allegedly drunk, drove her car directly into the market area and targeted a watermelon stall where she attempted to turn around.
SHE CONTINUED ON WITHOUT HEEDING REACTIONS
Driving her car directly onto the stall, the woman crushed the products amid the screams of the shopkeepers and shoppers. Although the surrounding market vendors and citizens reacted strongly and tried to stop the vehicle, the reckless driver ignored all warnings and continued on her way.
Crushing dozens of watermelons and melons under her car, the driver caused significant financial loss to the market vendors. The fact that the vehicle, diving into the crowd, did not run over anyone and no injuries occurred luckily prevented a potential disaster.
THOSE MOMENTS ON CELL PHONE CAMERA
The incident, causing a brief major panic in the market, was captured second by second on the cell phone cameras of nearby citizens. The footage clearly shows the car recklessly entering the area with market stalls and crushing the products on the stalls as it moved forward. Law enforcement launched an investigation to identify the driver, who both caused financial harm to vendors and endangered public safety.
