Irrigation Channel Assistance Rejected in Adana
Incident in Adana: Driver Rescues Himself from Irrigation Channel
In the evening hours of yesterday, an unusual incident unfolded in the central Seyhan district of Adana, specifically in the Gülbahçesi neighborhood. A light commercial vehicle, driven by a man identified as Serhat Ş. (28), veered off course for reasons yet to be determined and plunged into an irrigation channel managed by the State Hydraulic Works (DSI).
Upon receiving alerts from local residents, emergency response teams, including police, fire brigades, and medical personnel, rushed to the scene. However, in a surprising turn of events, Serhat Ş. rejected their offers of assistance, expressing a refusal to be rescued. Reports indicated that he threatened to return to the water if anyone attempted to help him.
In a display of determination, Serhat Ş. ultimately managed to free himself and swim to safety on his own. Fortunately, officials have reported that his health is in good condition following the ordeal.
Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident. This incident raises questions about road safety and the responsibilities of drivers in emergency situations.
Residents and officials alike are relieved that the outcome was positive and that Serhat Ş. is safe.
