Rocks rained from the sky! Disaster in the truck park!

There was literally horror in the morning hours in the Esenkıyı TIR Park area on the Black Sea Coastal Road in Artvin's Hopa district.

Huge pieces of rock broke off from the slope right above the truck park and fell on the parked trucks like rain.

In the tragic incident, Kasım Topaloğlu (45) lost his life. It was learned that Topaloğlu lost his life due to rocks hitting his head in the second landslide that occurred while he was trying to help his friends after saving his vehicle.

According to the news on IHA, one person died in the incident. Upon notice, AFAD, Hopa Search and Rescue (HOPAK), fire brigade, police, gendarmerie and medical teams were dispatched to the region.

The teams took security measures at the scene and started search and rescue and debris removal efforts.

While rock fragments falling into the TIR park caused damage to vehicles, a tanker rolled onto its side. The surrounding vegetation and infrastructure were also damaged in the landslide.

While the teams continue their work in the region, police and gendarmerie teams ensure environmental safety in case of a new landslide.

While aftershocks continued in the region, the trucks damaged by the landslides could not be removed from the region.
