Boy, 12, seriously hurt in crash

TWO people were hurt, one of them seriously, in an accident that occurred on the Ercan-İskele main road.

The accident happened in front of Tatlı Market in Sınırüstü when 19-year-old Boğaziçi resident Eren Okur “lost control” of his car due to “excessive speed and carelessness” while driving from İskele to Ercan, police said.

Zeynel Abidin Yilmaz, 46, was waiting at the Sınırüstü junction to drive onto the main road when his truck was hit on the side by Okur’s car.

Eren Okur and passenger Arda Okur, 12, were rushed to Gazimağusa State Hospital by ambulances dispatched to the scene.

Eren Okur was treated for a fractured right arm and placed under observation.

After being treated for a bleed in his lung, Arda Okur was transferred to Lefkoşa Dr Burhan Nalbantoğlu State Hospital.
