SHOP OWNER DESCRIBES THE MOMENTS

Shop owner Bekir Oral said, "We were working in our shop around 6:00 PM, and we had customers. It happened in an instant. There was a loud noise, glass flew inside, and the furniture was broken. We didn't understand what was happening. The car was still running and the accelerator was being pressed. We turned off the ignition and stopped it that way. Citizens rescued the child who was trapped under the vehicle. We also pulled out the driver. He had suffered a heart attack. He passed away. It hit the pedestrians passing by and sent them into my shop. We didn't know what was happening. We were in shock. My shop is 2-3 steps up. Thank God it hit the pillar. Otherwise, it would have gone deep into the shop. The damage doesn't matter, but I wish there hadn't been a loss of life."

Aydınlıkevler Neighborhood Headman Mustafa Uysal also stated that the driver had suffered a heart attack and that the vehicle stopped after hitting a column, noting that if it weren't for the column, it could have caused a much greater tragedy.
