Reckless mistake kills e-scooter driver in Istanbul

A 40-year-old woman has died in a road accident when a public bus hit her as she rode an electric scooter in Istanbul's Ümraniye district.

İlknur Akkaya, who was driving an e-scooter on Oct. 25, was thrown onto a busy road when the door of a car she passed by suddenly opened.

The woman abruptly fell in front of a public bus that was moving on the side lane.
