ACCIDENT OCCURRED

Starting her profession without paying attention to societal prejudices, Demir has also become an inspiration for other women while outshining her male colleagues. On the day her news was shared and became a topic of discussion, Demir had a traffic accident.

"I WAS CURSED"

Rabia Demir, who had a traffic accident on the day her news was published and became a topic of discussion, stated that she felt she was cursed, saying, "I had an accident yesterday. I lost control of the truck due to the rainy weather, and the truck tipped over. I had the accident at 22 kilometers per hour, and I wasn't going fast. When I lost control of the first trailer, naturally, the tractor lost control as well. I was wearing my seatbelt, and that's why I escaped the accident without injury," she said.

"I WILL HAVE 'MAŞALLAH' WRITTEN ON MY NEW TRUCK"

Demir also stated: "Thank God I didn't crash the trailer into the sidewalk and burst it. There was a load of 42 tons in the trailer. After the accident, I kicked the window to get out, but I couldn't. Citizens who witnessed the accident broke the window from the outside and helped me out. I noticed that the vehicle was experiencing instability at the moment of the accident. I also heard another car honking from behind. Then I tipped over, and I don't remember what happened in the seconds in between.

After the accident, I immediately called my boss, and they came right away. The medical teams that arrived at the scene took me to the hospital as a precaution. This incident happened due to being cursed. Better to lose property than life. I will have 'maşallah' written on my new truck. The reason for this is to protect myself from curses. Not all accidents are caused by women. Experienced men can also have accidents. Chase your dreams. Don't give up just because you were scared once," she said.
