EREĞLI, KONYA, TURKEY – MARCH, 2026 Turkey is shaken by CCTV footage from Ereğli, which captures a tragic manifestation of human indifference. A fifty-year-old driver was just about to get into his car when he was struck by a sudden stroke. In the video, the man can be seen clutching the car door convulsively and then falling to the ground. The most terrifying thing about the whole incident is the fact that during the several minutes the man lay helpless on the asphalt, at least five people passed by. Some even looked in his direction, but no one stopped to find out what was happening.
Brain hemorrhage (hemorrhagic stroke) often manifests as a so-called ‘thunderclap headache’ – a sudden, extremely intense headache followed by loss of coordination and consciousness. The video shows that the man tried to maintain stability against the car, which is a typical manifestation of the loss of motor functions in one half of the body.
Help was only called by a random pedestrian after many long minutes. Doctors confirmed it was a massive brain hemorrhage, where every second plays a role. The man is now fighting for his life in the hospital, while the public on social media sharply criticizes the witnesses for their indifference.
