Terrible accident, driver went down the side of a cliff.  They were locals on a day trip.
Some horribly pictures on F.B.

From the photos shown I think  I know this part of the road,every time we go to Izmir there is an incident there,its the last bend but one coming from Izmir before the traffic lights for the turn to Marmaris,just before this bend is actually a safety run off area,that's how dangerous its considered
last year on two separate journeys we saw a lorry being cut up having rolled down the embankment,and later six,at least, cars involved in one accident whilst the road was under repair.
 Very sad for the families involved especially as the reports say most were mothers and children
