Two Russian tourists on holiday near Kemer, Turkey, were swept out to sea when a sudden flash flood tore their motorhome from the ground. The dramatic incident unfolded as heavy rainfall caused the nearby Agva River to burst its banks, trapping the vehicle and its occupants in surging waters.
The tourists, who were attempting to drive away, found themselves stuck as the sand beneath their wheels turned into a muddy trap. Within moments, the floodwaters lifted the camper and carried it out to sea, taking the pair with it.
The tourists escaped the ordeal with only shock, thanks to the swift response of emergency services. While the motorhome was eventually retrieved, officials continue to monitor water levels as heavy rain persists. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by flash flooding in the region.
