Two people have been injured and taken to hospital after a collision between a car and an ambulance on the TF47 at Llano de Erques near Granadilla. It seems that the car turned left at the same time as the ambulance was overtaking it, and a crash was inevitable. The driver of the car (60 year old individual with initials MSN) and the passenger in the ambulance are the two who were taken to Hospiten Sur.

Even if the car driver had been indicating, he would have been indicating left so the ambulance might well have just thought he was simply slowing down ... it's asking for accidents, this way of indicating.

I've driven in a few countries Janet and never have I come accross a system of indicating left to indicate anything other than "I am about to turn left".

Granted, you're 7 times more likely to be involved in an accident in Turkey than in the UK and I've seen driving there that would leave the locals amazed but this is just ridiculous.

I actually saw an ambulance and a small car off the road the other day as-well but that was on the way to Puerto Santiago.
