Observer Online Report

At least 11 people were killed and 27 others injured in a collision between a tourist bus and a tow truck in western Turkey.

According to Al Jazeera, the accident occurred near a toll booth on the Gebze-Orhangazi-Izmir Highway in the Akhisar area of Manisa province around 11am on Sunday, October 11.

A statement from the Manisa Governor’s Office said authorities were informed of the accident shortly after 11am local time.

The injured were taken to several local hospitals. The bus driver was among those injured and was detained by police after being discharged from hospital.

Photographs from the scene showed extensive damage to the rear of the overturned bus. Blue body bags were lined up beside the road. The overturned tow truck appeared to have been carrying wooden planks.

Turkey’s Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said in a post on X that the victims were Turkish nationals. However, authorities have yet to confirm whether any foreign nationals were among the dead or injured.

After visiting the accident site, Manisa Governor Vahdettin Ozkan said officials were working there in coordination with the public prosecutor’s office.

The accident highlights the importance of complying with traffic regulations, he added.
