As winter progresses, fog has also started showing its fierce form. Dense fog in Turkey has wreaked such havoc that you will get goosebumps after hearing about it. In this season, most areas of Turkey are covered in dense fog and drivers are facing great difficulties due to low visibility on the road. Due to low visibility on the road, 7 vehicles collided one after the other. The collision was so severe that 10 people died. Many vehicles were blown to pieces. Dozens of people are injured, many of whom are in critical condition.

The incident occurred in northwestern Türkiye on Thursday. At least 10 people died and 57 others were injured in a back-to-back collision between seven vehicles on a motorway here. The death toll may increase further. The officers provided this information. The accident occurred due to dense fog and low visibility on the Northern Marmara Highway in Sakarya province, about 150 kilometers from Istanbul, officials said. He said that investigation into the accident has been started.

First a vehicle hit the truck

Sakarya Governor Yasar Karadeniz said it probably happened when a vehicle hit a truck due to low visibility, which then collided with other vehicles coming from behind. At least three intercity buses were involved in the accident. Authorities believe some passengers died when they were hit by another vehicle, Karadeniz told reporters at the scene. The governor said that seven of the injured were in critical condition. Police and emergency personnel were seen removing debris at the site. (AP)
