ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A pileup involving seven vehicles left at least 10 dead and 57 injured Thursday on a highway in northwest Turkey, authorities said.
The incident occurred amid dense fog and low visibility on the northern Marmara Highway in Sakarya province, regarding 150 kilometers (93 miles) from Istanbul.
Authorities opened an investigation, but Sakarya Governor Yasar Karadeniz said the accident possibly occurred when a vehicle hit a truck due to poor visibility, triggering the other rear-end crashes.
At least three buses were involved in the accident.
Authorities believe some passengers died following they exited their vehicles and were hit by other cars, Karadeniz told reporters at the scene.
Seven of the injured are in serious condition, he added.
Police and emergency personnel responded to the scene to clear the highway.
