Istanbul's Bosphorus Bridge closed to traffic over suspicious car

A suspicious car prompted the emergency closure of Istanbul's Bosphorus Bridge on March 15.

A man reportedly jumped out of a moving car, now abandoned, before escaping in another vehicle.

Bomb disposal experts detonated the trunk of the car in a controlled manner, while examinations of the car are continuing.

The driver reportedly parked the car on the Bosphorus Bridge's emergency lane after it ran out of gas.
