1 Injured in Chain-Reaction Crash Involving Police Vehicle on Beylikdüzü D-100

The traffic accident that occurred on the İstanbul Beylikdüzü D-100 Highway caused transportation in the area to be disrupted during the evening hours. The driver of a light commercial vehicle, forced to stop in the left lane due to a breakdown, left a tire rim on the road to warn other drivers. A car driver who saw this rim reduced their speed for safety and slowed down their vehicle. However, this situation escaped the attention of the other vehicles coming from behind, and consecutive collisions occurred. A large number of police and medical teams were dispatched to the scene.

In addition to material damage, people were also harmed in the chain-reaction crash. An electric car coming from behind crashed into the slowing car. Immediately after, a police vehicle arriving at the scene also got involved in the accident and joined the collision. As a result of this severe collision, a total of 1 person suffered injuries to various parts of their body. After receiving first aid at the scene, the injured citizen was transported to the hospital.

The Beylikdüzü D-100 Highway's Avcılar direction, where the accident occurred, is known to be one of the regions where traffic accidents frequently happen. The incident, which occurred around 20.00 in the evening, drew the attention of citizens who were on the road at that time. Following the accident, one lane of the road was closed to traffic, and security measures began to be taken. Authorities launched a comprehensive investigation and inquiry into the matter.

The behavior exhibited by the driver of the broken-down commercial vehicle, which was the initial cause of the incident, brings up an important issue regarding traffic safety. The rim the driver left on the road to warn other vehicles caused drivers of different vehicles to make sudden maneuvers. The fact that the electric vehicle and the police car coming from behind were traveling at a speed exceeding their reaction time after the first car slowed down increased the magnitude of the disaster. This situation has once again revealed how critical following distances and speed limits are.

While traffic controls continued at the accident scene for a long time, teams made a great effort to remove the damaged vehicles from the road. The injured person's health condition was reported to be stable and not life-threatening. Authorities urge drivers, especially those traveling on busy highways like the D-100 during the evening and night hours, to be more careful. It is emphasized that adhering to safe speed and adequate following distance rules is of great importance to prevent such chain-reaction accidents.
