A CRASH ON TOP OF A CRASH

By Bob Walsh

 

 Journalists, emergency workers among 32 dead in crashes at accident sites in TurkeyThe site of the traffic accident that killed and injured dozens of people on a highway in Gaziantep province, Türkiye, on Aug. 20, 2022

 

On Saturday in southern Turkey a passenger bus collided with emergency response teams that had been handling an earlier road accident.  A total of 15 people are known dead and about 24 injured.  Among the dead are two firefighters, two medics and two journalists.  Many other fatalities was among the bus passengers.  It appears the bus plowed into an ambulance.

Turkey has, generally speaking, a horrible record of road safety.
