Taxi driver crashes into four pedestrians after allegedly using bonzai
ISTANBUL
A taxi-driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed into four pedestrians in Istanbul’s central Beyoğlu district after allegedly using bonzai, a cheap and addictive synthetic drug, local media reports said. The incident occurred on June 25 but was reported three days later after footage emerged from nearby surveillance cameras.
Locals in the area rushed to the site of accident and prevented the taxi driver from escaping. He was later detained by the police.
The unidentified driver had reportedly rented the taxi for just one day, when the incident took place.
