At least 16 people died in a traffic accident in Turkey. Among them are firefighters, medical staff and two journalists, the governor of Gaziantep province, Davut Gül, said today in an interview at the scene of the accident.
They were originally there because of a previous accident report. An oncoming bus had an accident, overturned and hit an ambulance and the journalists’ van. Another 22 people were injured.
The two journalists worked for the state agency IHA, according to state broadcaster TRT. Loud hiccups can be heard in a broadcaster’s report. The agency’s cameraman, who is on hand to cover the deaths of his colleagues, “couldn’t hold back his tears,” TRT said.
The injured are being treated at the hospital. Nothing is known about the extent of the injury.
