【kalyan close guessing today】1 killed, 38 injured in Istanbul metrobus collision
ISTANBUL,kalyan close guessing today Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- One person has died and 38 others were injured after two metrobuses collided in Türkiye's largest city here, local authorities said on Thursday.
The Istanbul Governor's Office reported that the accident occurred during rush hour in the Kucukcekmece district on the European side of the city, resulting in one fatality and 38 people injured, including two seriously.
The driver, who failed to notice a road construction warning, entered the wrong lane. To avoid hitting a construction vehicle, the driver swerved and collided with another metrobus, the NTV Broadcaster said.
As the vehicles involved in the accident were being towed from the scene, traffic that had been halted for a long time in both directions could partially resume, the broadcaster added.
The metrobus is a popular mode of transportation in Istanbul, used by millions of commuters each day to bypass the city's heavy traffic. These buses operate on dedicated bus lanes, providing a rapid and efficient means of traveling across the city. ■
