Governor Koç, on the question of whether additional precautions will be taken in the Giresun Port location of the Black Sea Coastal Road, where the accident occurred when a truck hit two cars and 5 people lost their lives, said: You have also seen the footage of the accident. It happened as a result of a vehicle coming from behind hitting a vehicle stopped at a red light, probably while the driver was asleep. But hopefully in the coming periods, together with our police, our municipality, our highways and our responsible institutions, we do not think that there is a deficiency, we do not evaluate it, but we will definitely work to re-evaluate and improve the accidents that have occurred, or to do something if there is something that needs to be done.
