The out-of-control vehicle veered off the road and swerved towards a grassy area on the roadside.
After entering the grassy area, the event continued to move uncontrollably for a while. Afterwards, it was only able to come to a stop by crashing into the wooden fences surrounding a wheat field. Citizens in the vicinity who witnessed the accident immediately reported the situation to the 112 Emergency Call Center and asked for help. Following the report, police, medical, and fire teams were rapidly dispatched to the area. Upon the teams' arrival at the scene shortly after, extensive security and rescue operations were initiated in the area.
The police teams arriving at the scene immediately took security measures, ensuring that traffic continued to flow in a controlled manner. In this way, possible secondary accidents on the D-100 highway were prevented. At the same time, medical personnel provided first aid to the driver, who was trapped or injured inside the vehicle, at the scene. Following the first intervention, the driver was placed in an ambulance after his condition was stabilized. It was reported that the driver, dispatched to the nearest medical facility by ambulance, continues to receive treatment at the hospital.
According to the latest information received from authorized health personnel, it was learned that the health condition of the hospitalized driver is good and his life is not in danger.

Such sudden health crises and traffic accidents have once again highlighted how vital it is for drivers to have their general health checked before hitting the road. It is of great importance for drivers traveling on routes, especially those involving long distances and heavy traffic, to quickly pull over to the side of the road and ensure safety in case of a possible illness. Authorities recommend that drivers get behind the wheel while awake and refreshed, and that those with any chronic illnesses must absolutely have a companion with them. The accident was prevented from turning into a larger disaster by chance, thanks to the rapid intervention of surrounding citizens and emergency teams. In order to prevent similar incidents, authorities emphasize that efforts to raise public awareness regarding traffic safety and driver health will continue.
