Around 19:30 on 2026-10-11, a light commercial vehicle was traveling along Salkıkent Street in the Doyran Mahallesi neighborhood of Konyaaltı, Antalya. The driver, 67‑year‑old Cemal Oktay, was heading from Saklıkent toward the city center. As the vehicle approached a curve described as Aşağıin, it failed to navigate the turn. The car broke through the roadside barriers and began a steep descent.
The vehicle plunged approximately fifty meters into a ravine below the roadway. Witnesses in other vehicles that were passing at the moment saw the accident and immediately contacted emergency services. The impact left the vehicle wrecked at the bottom of the ravine, trapping its occupants inside.
Responding units from AFAD, the local fire department, the gendarmerie, and medical personnel arrived at the scene shortly after the call. Rescue teams worked for about thirty minutes to free the injured from the wreckage. During the operation, it was confirmed that Cemal Oktay and 62‑year‑old Şükrü Fidan had died in the crash. Four other passengers—Bedriye C.O., Leyla T., Berivan O., and a young man named Furkan—were found alive but injured. After extraction, the injured were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment, while the bodies of the two victims were transferred to the Antalya Forensic Institute following a gendarmerie inspection.
Rescue teams worked for about thirty minutes to free the injured from the wreckage.
Authorities have launched a formal investigation into the cause of the accident. The investigation will examine the circumstances surrounding the crash. As of now, the official account states that the vehicle failed to negotiate the curve at Aşağıin, broke through the barriers, and fell the estimated fifty‑meter depth into the ravine, resulting in two fatalities and four injuries.
