Multiple accidents and weather events reported in Cyprus and Turkey

Multiple traffic accidents and severe weather events have been reported across Cyprus and various regions in Turkey.

In Cyprus, two separate accidents occurred in the Girne-Lefkoşa and Gemikonağı areas, resulting in three injuries. One driver in Gemikonağı was hospitalized with a skull fracture after colliding with a pole and a sign while driving under the influence of alcohol.

In Turkey, heavy hail the size of walnuts caused property damage to vehicles in Hatay, specifically in the Antakya, Altınözü, Hassa, and Defne districts.

Several significant road accidents were reported in different provinces. In Konya's Beyşehir district, heavy rainfall led to three consecutive accidents involving multiple vehicles, injuring 11 people. In Adıyaman, a chain reaction involving four cars on the Gölbaşı-Kahramanmaraş highway left four people injured. Other notable incidents include a collision between a truck and a car in Konya's Karapınar district, a crash involving an electric motorcycle and a car in Kırıkkale, and an accident in Gümüşhane where a vehicle struck a university student on a sidewalk.
