This 1s Only a Test - Van Smashed by Tram

Antalya, Turkey – Not from the AP

A Hyundai Starex late nineties model was smashed by the Coastline Tram this afternoon as locals were getting off work. The owner miscalculated the rate of speed of the tram as he sped to turn onto a intersecting side street seconds before being smashed by the oncoming two-car tram.

The accident which left none seriously injured did succeed in stopping all tram traffic for the rest of the evening as the police were summoned and an official inquiry was made regarding the event. By 18:00 the police arrived and made the necessary inquiries.

Police were not quoted as saying, “this was the worst traffic accident they had seen all day,” but their faces gave the impression of one dumbfounded by the stupidity of the impatient drivers of the city. If one of the local residents had been questioned regarding the accident they might have complained about the rate of speed of the drivers as they navigate their back streets in the outlying region of ISIKLAR.

As an eye witness to this event I would like to state that most of the statements are true while some are only slightly invented for the purpose of a more interesting boring Thursday story. If anyone is looking for a smashed Hyundai van they can contact me by commenting on this blog post. Until next time remember, "This 1s only a test."
