On 20 August 2022, at least 35 people were killed in two separate bus crashes in Turkey.[1] Despite their similarities, they are reportedly unlinked.[2]
Gaziantep crash[edit]
In Gaziantep Province, a bus hit the scene of a road crash, crashing into cars and flipping over onto its side.[3] 16 people were killed and 21 were injured.[2] The incident occurred on the highway between Gaziantep and Nizip.[4] Those killed included three firefighters, two paramedics and two journalists.[5]
Mardin crash[edit]
The second crash occurred in Derik in Mardin Province at another crash site.[6] According to Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca, the crash "occurred after the brakes gave out on a lorry, which hit a crowd".[2]
Investigation[edit]
Minister of Justice Bekir Bozdag announced an investigation into the crashes.[7]
