Selfie attempt turns fatal for two teenagers

London: Two teenagers were killed in Turkey after they laid down in the middle of a road to try and get a selfie with a plane in the background, a media report said.

Muhammet Bozkurt, 17, and Caglar Savasci, 19, were hit by a truck outside Antayla airport in Turkey, metro.co.uk reported on Tuesday.

They were with three other friends who said they had stopped by the perimeter fence and wanted a selfie of the five of them with landing planes.

But the lorry driver could not spot them on the road as it was dark.

The other three rolled out of the way but Bozkurt and Savasci could not and were run over.
