Derman explained that the child had been running behind the vehicle and suddenly crossed her path, causing him to collide with the car himself.

Media Details of the Incident

According to 2. Sayfa, the young actress known for portraying “Melis” in the series Sahipsizler was in her car with a friend. While attempting to leave without responding to reporters, the alleged incident occurred.
