The traffic accident that occurred yesterday evening in the Arsuz district of Hatay was reflected second by second on the security cameras of passing vehicles. The accident stands out as a chain event involving two cars traveling in the same direction on the Arsuz Çevre Yolu. For a reason not yet fully known, a major collision occurred at the scene when a car crashed into the back of another vehicle waiting at a red light. Due to the severity of the collision, both vehicles suffered significant material damage, and two people inside the vehicles sustained various injuries. Following the incident, other drivers in the area immediately reported the situation to the 112 Emergency Call Center and asked for help.

Immediately following the report, both medical and police teams were dispatched to the scene. Medical teams flawlessly provided first aid to the accident victims at the scene. Afterwards, the injured were transported to nearby hospitals accompanied by ambulances and placed under detailed examination and treatment processes. According to the latest information obtained from authorities, it was learned that the health conditions of the injured taken to the hospital are good and they are not in life-threatening danger.

Traffic flow on the Arsuz Çevre Yolu, where the accident occurred, was maintained in a controlled manner for a temporary period. Police teams took extensive security measures in the area to prevent a second accident from occurring. The damaged and immobile vehicles on the road were removed from the area by tow trucks after the crime scene investigation teams completed their work. Drivers directed by traffic teams tried to reach their destinations via alternative routes. After the towing operations were completed and the hazardous elements on the road were cleared, transportation returned to its normal course.
