The Consulate General of Russia has confirmed a fatal traffic accident occurred in the Kundu area near Antalya, resulting in the death of a Russian citizen. The consular press service released the information via its channels, stating the loss of life clearly and without ambiguity. Officials emphasized that the incident is under thorough review, with ongoing efforts to gather all facts and provide necessary assistance to any affected individuals and their families.
In addition to the fatality, the consular reporting notes that four other Russian nationals sustained injuries of varying severity. These individuals were promptly transported to medical facilities in Antalya for treatment, with two of them currently receiving care in intensive care units. The Russian diplomatic mission has pledged to monitor the medical status of those hurt and ensure appropriate consular support is extended as medical needs evolve.
The Consulate General in Antalya has also stated that it is actively clarifying all circumstances surrounding the crash. Local authorities and consular staff are coordinating to reconstruct the sequence of events, identify contributing factors, and verify any factors that may affect the safety and well-being of travelers in the region. The mission remains committed to transparency and cooperation with Turkish authorities during the investigation process.
Earlier in September, the Consulate General noted that there were confirmed injuries among Russians as a result of a road incident near Alanya. The update reflects the continued vigilance of consular services in monitoring incidents involving Russian citizens in the region and ensuring timely help is provided when accidents occur in popular tourist areas.
Back in June, it was reported that five Russians were hospitalized following a traffic accident involving a tourist bus in Antalya. The incident drew attention to the safety conditions for visitors traveling through this coastal area, and the consular and local authorities worked together to deliver medical aid, assess the situation, and support those affected and their families throughout the recovery process.
On a separate note, a past collision involving a Mercedes vehicle in Moscow has been referenced in the related updates. While this incident is not linked to the Antalya events, it serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for cautious driving and thorough investigations into road safety matters across regions.
