                      Roadkill? Accidents happen, they say.

Last Saturday at the Sevindikli location on the North Marmara highway
in Kocaeli, a small truck driven by İ.Ç. crashed into the back of a TIR 
(tractor trailer) cab, without a trailer, driven by Nihat Öz.  Both İ.Ç. and
his passenger Ö.T. were hospitalized with their injuries. 

Gendarmerie troops arriving at the scene noticed dead red deer in the 
trunk of the small truck and alerted the Nature Defense and Parks 
Regional Directorate, whose officials arrived and found a large number
of bullets that they assumed had been used in hunting the deer.

However (!), in their statements to the Gendarmerie İ.Ç. and Ö.T. 
declared that they had not shot the deer, having "coincidentally" found 
them by the side of the road, already dead. (!)  Nevertheless, the 
"accidental hunters" both had hunting licenses but not permission to hunt 
the deer.  İ.Ç. and Ö.T. were each given sanction fines of between 1,730 
TL and 8,692 TL and administrative damages fines of 35,000 TL.






 












                   They're an accident waiting to happen.
