Vehicular mismatch.
Ecem Sultan Çamlı (28) worked as an engineer at an aerospace
technology firm in Istanbul. On 5 November on her way to
work on her scooter at around 0845, she was hit by a TIR cab
(tractor-trailer) driven by Hasan Furkan Çolak (24) and dragged
150 meters. Ecem Sultan hanım died at a hospital from her
injuries.
Çolak was taken into custody for "causing death by neglect".
In his statement Çolak related that "As I was heading toward
Sabiha Gökçen Airport, I heard the cars behind me beeping
their horns so I stopped my truck, got out and saw an injured
person, whose name I learned was Ecem Sultan Çamlı, lying
on the ground in back of the truck. I found out from the
onlookers that I had hit this woman on her scooter. I myself
did not see the incident because the deceased was riding her
scooter at the right front blind spot of my truck. I did not
feel or sense that I had hit anything."
"In any case, I went to her and asked about her condition.
She replied that she was OK but was having trouble
breathing. She was taken to a hospital in an ambulance.
I don't think I was at fault in the accident. The right lane
was closed and I was in the far left lane because I was
going to turn 40-50 meters later. I do not accept the blame
that has been cast upon me."
