Claim: Visuals of a road accident caused by the recent earthquake in northwest Turkey.
Fact-check: The traffic accident shown in this video took place three hours before the recent earthquake in the Duzce Province of Turkey - FACTLY
Verdict: the video shared in the post shows the visuals of a traffic accident involving 12 vehicles at the mecidiyeköy location in the sisli district of istanbul, turkey. the incident took place at 1:20 am on 23 november 2022, on the d-100 highway in mecidiyeköy. but, the earthquake of magnitude 5.9 shook the duzce province at 4:08 am on the same day. the accident shown in the video took place three hours prior to the earthquake that took place in the duzce province of northwest turkey. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
