A truck ploughed into a crowd near a filling station in the Derik district of Mardin in Turkey on August 20, 2022, killing 16 people and injuring 29.

In a separate accident, 16 people including emergency workers and journalists died when a bus crashed and flipped over, regional governor Davut Gul from the southeastern province of Gaziantep said. Another 20 people were wounded and received treatment.

"Around 10:45 this morning, a passenger bus crashed here," Gul said, speaking from the scene of the accident on the road east of Gaziantep.

"While the fire brigade, medical teams and other colleagues were responding to the accident, another bus crashed 200 meters behind. The second bus slid to this site and hit the first responders and the wounded people on the ground."
