Emergency services took Suleyman to the Mugla Sitki Kocman University Medical Faculty Hospital, which was located nearby. When he arrived at the hospital, Suleyman was in a critical condition.

He was pronounced dead two weeks later, with his funeral being held at Kutuk Minare Mosque.

The tragic news comes after a UK teenager died in a motorcycle crash in Vietnam.

Orla Wates, who had been about to go to Durham Universituy to study, was just 19 when she died from her injuries after crashing on a bike route in northern Vietnam on 2 April, in the Ha Giang Loop in Ha Noi.

Orla was rushed to the Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, but tragically dies of her injuries.

Her parents Andy and Henrietta Wates paid tribute to her, telling Viet Nam News: “Orla was beautiful, independent and very funny, with a sharp wit,” they told the outlet.

“She loved to look good and lived life to the full.”

They also thanked the team at the hospital for looking after Orla, and confirmed that her corneas, kidneys, and liver were transplanted to patients at the hospital with health conditions requiring a transplant, with her mum say it is 'what Orla would have wanted'.

“Knowing that she is living on through them brings us great comfort," said Henrietta.
