eighteen individuals of Russian nationality sustained injuries in a bus mishap
Headline: Bus Crash in Antalya Leaves 18 Russian Tourists, Driver Injured
Holy smokes, here's a shocker! A tourist bus carrying Russian travelers veered off course in Antalya's Manavgat district. Thanks to some crappy driving from the dude behind the wheel, the bus ended up flipping over near a bunch of greenhouses on Yoruk Mustafa Bey Boulevard. Ouch!
The accident happened around 8 in the morning today. 18 Russian tourists and the driver were transported to hospitals to get checked out. As of now, the Russians are in the hospital, with medical professionals evaluating their conditions.
Anex Tour Operator confirmed that their guides are sticking by the tourists, lending a helping hand. Local representatives and insurance companies are also stepping in to help out.
But hey, this ain't the first incident like this. Remember the crash in Canakkale back in March where 37 Greek tourists were injured in a bus accident? Or the one in 2024 when a bus carrying Russians and Belarusians smashed into a concrete pillar in Turkey? Well, unfortunately, these kinds of things seem to happen more often than we'd like.
Turkish authorities are in touch with Russian Consulate, Anex, and insurance companies to keep the situation under control. As of 12:30, 17 tourists are still checking out their injuries in hospitals. Two might even need surgery.
Let's hope these folks recover soon and can get back to sunbathing on the beach sipping on their cocktails!
