Son of Somali President hit from behind, courier killed

Motorcycle courier Yunus Emre Göçer, who was injured in the accident involving the son of the Somali President in Fatih, Istanbul, died in the hospital.

HE WANTED TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP

The accident occurred at noon on Thursday, November 30, at the Eurasia Tunnel exit, Kennedy Caddesi, in the direction of Zeytinburnu. Motorcycle driver Yunus Emre Göçer (38), with plate number 16 AFL 804, was driving on the coastal road when he slowed down the speed of his motorcycle and wanted to stop on the side of the road.

Mohamed Hassan Shekh Mohamud, son of the President of Somalia, who was driving in the same direction with his car with plate number 06 CD 4581, hit the motorcycle from behind. Göçer, who was thrown onto the road due to the impact, was seriously injured.

HE WAS RELEASED AFTER THE STATEMENT

Upon notice, police and medical teams were dispatched to the scene. Medical teams arriving at the scene took the seriously injured motorcycle driver to Samatya Training and Research Hospital by ambulance and Göçer was treated in intensive care. It was learned that the son of the President of Somalia was released after his statement at the police station.

HE HAD TWO CHILDREN, ONE OF WHO WAS DISABLED

While the moment of the accident was reflected on the security camera second by second, Yunus Emre Göçer, the father of two children, one of whom is disabled, lost his fight for life in the hospital 6 days later. Göçer’s body was handed over to his family after examination at the Forensic Medicine Institute. Göçer’s friends accompanied the body on their motorcycles in front of the Forensic Medicine Institute.

REPORT ACCUSED AGAINST THE POLICE

Yunus Emre Göçer’s body will be buried after the funeral prayer performed at Gümüşsuyu Cemevi. Göçer’s friend Yusuf Özsoy said, “Legal processes are continuing, we will bury our friend today. Traffic police teams who came to the scene, without watching any footage, made a report saying that the motorcyclist lost control of the steering wheel and then hit the pavement and fell in front of the vehicle. In the footage we obtained through our lawyer, the car came up to our friend from behind without even braking.” “It seems that he was hit and injured and then died. The person who hit him was never arrested,” he said.
