The preliminary aftermath revealed that 11 people misplaced their lives on the scene, whereas one injured particular person, regardless of medical intervention at a close-by hospital, couldn’t be saved. Of the 19 injured passengers transported to medical services in Yozgat and the Sorgun districts, one stays in vital situation, including to the gravity of the state of affairs.

Our dedicated police, gendarmerie, AFAD and district governor teams are on-site, extending their full support. We have respectfully recovered the bodies of the deceased passengers and transferred the injured to local hospitals for immediate care.
