The Details
The trip started with me and my brother going on the Ege sea region of West Turkey. Date was March 2021 and two days right after I recieved the car from the mechanic shop that fixed my engine’s cylinders.
I wanted to drive the car to notice if there’s any problem within the engine and check if it leaks or burns oil like it used before fixing the engine. The performance was crazy good and car felt much stronger than before that I wanted to go to crazy places with it which I obviously did :D.
Target
The intended target location was Kaz Mountain which is an ancient peak with mythological referenes and beautiful nature attractions. check the location link

We tried to get in from the main gate but it was late so gate was closed. Tried to see around if there was any different route and eventually we decided to cancel and see another spot to camp around the nearby villages.
Long story short, We arrived to this village and found a way up to the mountain, road was like in th pictures a forest road, a bit wet due to previous days rain but the problem that I had was not feeling how difficult and step the road was due to the strength of the car.
I continued going up and at some point the tires were just rolling right on their place with no further progress, so I decided to try and use the Winch but I found out that it doesn’t work, then decided to use the Low 4WD but that too didn’t work. The car was in the middle of the mountain about 60 degrees up and on the left side it was very step with many thin trees.
How it happened
I decided to go backward with hard right instead of moving forward and try to turn the’s face down in order not to slide, My brother who didn’t have his seatbelt on got down to check directions for me and he came infront of the car prior moving in reverse. I started loosing the breaks a bit but car slided and was trying to adjust the wheels but car was shaking and the second time I left the breaks is where the car went on top of a rock and drifted down and flipped twice into the car and was held by one of those trees on the left side.
Luckily the only injury I got out of this accident was in my hand from the broken windows.
