Major collision on the way to Alanya injures 17, including foreign tourists
A major multi-vehicle collision involving six vehicles took place on the D-400 motorway near Manavgat, a central arterial road connecting Antalya to Alanya.
The accident resulted in 17 injured individuals, including six foreign tourists.
The incident highlights concerns regarding road safety on a highly popular stretch of road that is frequently used by both visitors and resident foreigners travelling to and from the resort town of Alanya.
The serious accident occurred on the D-400 highway, specifically within the Manavgat district.
This area is situated along the main route for traffic heading towards Alanya.
Such a significant incident on this vital road frequently leads to traffic disruption and increased awareness regarding road conditions and safety for everyone travelling in the region. The fact that six foreign tourists were among the injured underscores the incident' s direct relevance to the international community in the Antalya and Alanya region.
Although authorities have reported that none of the injuries were life-threatening, any accident involving visitors serves as a reminder of the importance of exercising caution while travelling, especially on busy routes.
The D-400 motorway is a critical transport artery along Turkey' s Mediterranean coast, linking major cities and tourist hubs such as Antalya, Side, Manavgat, and Alanya.
The road is a lifeline for tourism and daily commuting, making incidents on this stretch particularly notable for foreign residents who rely on it for travel, and for tourists planning their holiday itineraries. For those planning to travel between Antalya and Alanya, or within the wider Manavgat area, it is always advisable to stay informed about local traffic conditions and to drive defensively.
This accident serves as a general reminder for all motorists—especially visitors who may not be familiar with local driving habits or the road layouts—to prioritise safety on Turkey' s busy roads.
Always ensure your vehicle is properly maintained and remain extra vigilant regarding road signs and other traffic.
