13 killed in car crash in Istanbul

ISTANBUL - A car accident in an industrial area in Turkey’s largest city of Istanbul killed 13 people and injured 13, a media report said.

A passenger van was hit by a tanker, which skidded out of its lane presumably due to the slippery condition of the road in Ikitelli area Monday, Xinhua reported citing the Anatolia news agency.

Four of the injured, including the van driver, were in critical condition.
