While vacationing in Turkey, a foreign tourist with her son fell over a buggy (cross-country sports car) during a safari and suffered back injuries. A lover of extreme recreation returned to her homeland, to Great Britain, paralyzed, reported The Sun.
It will be recalled that during the last summer in Turkey, many accidents during safaris were recorded, which even led to public calls to the authorities to take measures against illegal organizers of such excursions. Read the details in the article “Murderous excursions in Turkey with many dead tourists have outraged tourism.”
This time, the chronology of the tragedy was as follows: a 30-year-old British tourist went on vacation to the popular resort province of Antalya with her 10-year-old son. During a buggy trip through the mountains, the traveler lost control and had an accident. After climbing a steep off-road hill, the traveler failed to turn the steering wheel, and the vehicle fell off a 50-meter cliff.
After the incident, the woman survived, but doctors diagnosed her with a fracture of six vertebrae and a pelvis, as well as internal bleeding and irreversible nerve damage in the lower back. The rescuers pulled out the victim and took him to the hospital. For three weeks, they struggled with the consequences of the accident: they performed lung drainage and two spinal operations.
It is known that the tourist has already returned to the UK and continues to receive treatment at Liverpool Hospital. However, as doctors reported, the British woman may remain disabled for the rest of her life due to her injuries.
