A Chinese tourist visiting Turkey has died in Antalya province after being hit by a public bus while crossing the street.
After buying fruit juice on Akdeniz Boulevard -- one of the main roads in Antalya -- 32-year-old Chinese citizen Jring Wang sought to cross the street to go to the seaside, according to the private Doğan news agency.
While she was crossing the road, a public bus hit Wang, and she died at the scene. The bus driver, Edip G., was detained by the police immediately after the incident and the woman's body was taken to a local morgue.
The unfortunate incident came amid recent isolated attacks by Turkish nationalists on tourists who appear to be Asian after reports of China banning religious activities during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and abusing the minority Muslim Uighurs in China's Xinjiang region. The reports sparked some demonstrations in Turkey and resulted in attacks on Asians.
