VIDEO: Turkey’s most dangerous driver detained
ISTANBUL
Four days after a video showing a car weaving manically in and out of Istanbul traffic led to outrage on social media, the Turkish police have detained a suspect.
Footage of a yellow car driving dangerously near the city’s Bahçelievler neighborhood, shot by a driver behind the car, was shared thousands of times on Facebook and Twitter, after which the police found the owner of the car through its license plate number.
A man from the western province of Sakarya, identified as Ünal T., was driving the car at the moment when the footage was shot and has been detained by police.
He will be brought to an Istanbul hospital for a mental health check up before legal action is taken, Doğan News Agency reported on Jan. 22.
