According to a police officer from Karaya station, the event caused a 30-minute traffic delay on one of the city's busiest routes. The individual took this drastic move as a result of emotional turmoil caused by his separation from his wife and financial troubles caused by business losses.
"Around 2:30 p.m., he was driving his eldest daughter to Science City on his two-wheeler. He abruptly came to a halt at the bridge and informed her that his mobile phone had fallen somewhere on the road and he was looking for it. He left her on the road, climbed up the bridge, and then threatened to jump off," the officer stated.
