Traffic accident in southeast Turkey leaves 13 dead

Thirteen people -- most of them Syrian nationals -- were killed in a traffic accident in the southeastern province of Sanliurfa on Sunday.
"The accident involved a minibus, a car and a concrete mixer truck, and might have happened due to rain and fog," Sanliurfa's Mayor Celalettin Guvenc said.
Guvenc said the minibus entered a reverse direction on the Sanliurfa-Akcakale highway and collided with the truck, injuring nine people including two who remain in critical condition.
"We witnessed a gruesome incident," said the mayor, adding the treatment of the injured continued.
Medics and security teams were dispatched to the scene and authorities launched an investigation into the accident.
