Two more victims were recorded early this morning in a new traffic accident that occurred in the occupied Bogazi district of Kyrenia, resulting in the loss of life of a 41-year-old mother and her 12-year-old daughter.
The topic of traffic accidents dominates the Turkish press, while the news of the two new victims emerged this morning. The car carrying 41-year-old Mehtap Kanal and her 12-year-old daughter Ezrin Baspinar collided with another vehicle parked on the side of the road after the driver lost her way. The death of both was tragic.
Yeni Duzen writes that in the last week alone, 7 people lost their lives in road accidents, noting that in 2024 there were 50 deaths on the asphalt, which was the highest number in the last 11 years.
Europe comments that reckless population growth, uncontrolled issuance of driving licenses, the condition of the road network and speed are the main causes for the increase in road accidents.
