Iranian woman takes mandatory break in Turkey as her truck engine frozen

In the Horasan district of Erzurum, many vehicles froze as the air temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees. Among the frozen vehicles, there was an Iranian woman truck driver who pulled her truck full of cargo to the oil facility in the district at night. Elnaz Aghayi, a long-distance driver carrying cargo from Iran to Turkey, stated that she loaded aluminum from Iran to Kocaeli and received a different load from Istanbul to Iran, and said that she took a mandatory break in Erzurum because the engine of the truck froze. “I started the truck after I got up in the morning, but the truck did not start due to the extreme cold. I called for aid from other truck drivers, they are on the way,” she said. “I am a married mother of two, I have a 23-year-old son and a 13-year-old daughter. My husband is self-employed. I love to ride. Heavy winter conditions are a problem for us. In the summer, this problem disappears. As I experienced today, my vehicle froze. We will solve this problem with my friends,” Elnaz Aghayi added.
