In a traffic accident that occurred in Şair Nabi Mahallesi, Haliliye ilçesi, Şanlıurfa, a 3-year-old little girl was severely injured after being hit by a car. It was reported that a car, whose license plate could not yet be identified, hit the child as she was trying to cross the street. Thrown by the impact, the little child fainted at the scene and waited for help. Citizens in the vicinity who witnessed the accident immediately intervened and called emergency lines. Following the incident, a large number of medical and police teams were dispatched to the area.

Following the notification of sensitive citizens who witnessed the accident to the 112 Emergency Call Center, medical and police teams were sent to the scene. The medical teams arriving at the scene upon the notification provided first aid to the injured child on-site. The police teams, on the other hand, took security measures at the scene and cordoned off the area to ensure the flow of traffic. Seeing that the injured child's condition was serious, a decision was made to transfer her to the nearest hospital by ambulance. Meanwhile, the security cameras in the area and the statements of nearby witnesses began to be examined.

The foreign-national child, who received first aid at the scene, was taken by ambulance to Mehmet Akif İnan Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi. An intensive medical intervention process was initiated in the emergency room to stabilize the condition of the little child brought to the hospital. Hospital officials avoided giving detailed information about the child's health condition, but stated that her treatment is ongoing. Whether the child's life is still in danger will become clear following the examinations to be conducted. Her family also arrived at the hospital and began an anxious wait.

The driver of the car involved in the accident was taken to the police headquarters by security forces to have their statement taken. It was learned that in his statement, the driver recounted the moment of the accident in detail and claimed that the child suddenly darted into the road. Whether the driver will be released after the procedures at the police station are completed will depend on the course of the ongoing investigation. Determining whether drivers acted negligently in such accidents constitutes an important part of the judicial process. The driver is also expected to undergo blood and alcohol tests.

Police teams have launched a comprehensive investigation to determine how the accident occurred and who is primarily responsible. The teams, trying to access the security camera footage at the scene and the statements of nearby witnesses, are also trying to identify the vehicle's license plate. Within the scope of the investigation, the child's family will also be interviewed to further clarify the incident. This incident, which has once again sparked debate about the measures that need to be taken regarding traffic safety, also caused a reaction from the citizens living in the area. Authorities emphasized that children should be monitored more carefully in traffic and that everyone needs to be sensitive to prevent such painful events.
