Five people were killed, and 25 others were injured after a truck crashed into a crowd of people gathering for a funeral prayer in southern Turkish Kahramanmaras province, the state-run TRT broadcaster reported Saturday.

The truck traveling along the Kahramanmaras-Andirin highway crashed into cars first and then dashed into the crowd due to a brake failure, the TRT reported.

According to Governor of Kahramanmaras Province Mukerrem Unluer, some of the injured were in critical conditions.
     
Türkiye has a poor record of road safety. According to official data, a total of 5,229 people lost their lives in more than 197,000 traffic accidents last year.
