2018-03-31
Yes, there was blood and people died, but it was an accident, so I put in on Page 2: WoT Background.
[IsraelTimes] Vehicle with capacity for 14 people was carrying 50, says Ottoman Turkish official

At least 17 people were killed and another 36 maimed after a bus carrying undocumented immigrants colonists hit a light pole in eastern The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire....
 and burst into flames, local media reported on Friday.

The bus, which crashed late Thursday on the Igdir-Kars highway, was carrying immigrants colonists from Iran, Pakistain, and Afghanistan, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.

A Ottoman Turkish official told the agency that the vehicle had a capacity for 14 passengers but was carrying 50 people.

A second passenger minibus is said to have hit some of the people thrown from the first vehicle.

The maimed were taken to hospital, some of them at death's door.

Law enforcement authorities opened an investigation into the incident.
An Nahar adds:
Thirteen illegal migrants colonists were detained by security forces inside another bus, which Anadolu said had been on the same journey as the one involved in the crash.

Road accidents are common in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
. Ottoman Turkish state broadcaster TRT said last month that 3,530 people were killed on the roads in 2017.
