At least 12 people have died and 31 people were injured, three of them seriously, in an accident with a construction truck in the Turkish earthquake region of Hatay, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca announced on Twitter on Saturday evening.
The DHA news agency reported on Sunday that a construction truck had collided with a lorry the previous night. The lorry lost control and collided with nine cars and two minibuses in the oncoming lane. Vehicles caught fire after the crash.
Three months ago, severe earthquakes shook the south-eastern Turkish province of Hatay and other regions. More than 50,000 people were killed.
