At least 32 people were killed in southeastern Turkey on Saturday when vehicles crashed into first responders involved in earlier accidents, authorities said. Sixteen people, including rescue workers and journalists, died when the bus crashed into an earlier accident site, regional governor Davut Gul of southeastern Gaziantep province said. Another 20 people were injured and treated. “A passenger bus crashed here around 10:45 this morning,” Gul said from the scene of the accident on a road east of Gaziantep. “While firefighters, medical teams and other colleagues were responding to the accident, another bus crashed 200 meters behind it. The second bus slid onto the scene, knocking the first responders and the injured to the ground.”
Separately, a truck crashed into a location about 250 km (155 miles) east in the Derik district of Mardin, where first responders were attending to another accident, according to footage. Sixteen people died and 29 others were injured in the incident in Mardin, Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said, adding that eight of the injured were in critical condition.
