A bowling alley worker in Turkey died after a freak accident in which she was crushed by a pin-setting machine — and the owner of the entertainment center was later arrested, according to local reports.
Melike Yeter, 28, who was recently engaged to be married, had been trying to fix a glitch in the device when it suddenly struck her in Corum Wednesday, according to afyonturkeligazetesi.com
Yeter got medical treatment for her injuries but later fell ill at home — and was rushed back to the hospital, where doctors discovered she was suffering from internal bleeding, the outlet reported.
The accident reportedly ruptured her liver, causing severe hemorrhaging, according to the Sun.
Her panicked fiancé pleaded with doctors to save her as her condition worsened, even contacting medical professionals he knew personally, The Sun reported.
Yeter — who reportedly got engaged three months ago — later died due to a “series of oversights,” according to the local paper evrensel.net
The 34-year-old owner of the child entertainment center was arrested following her death, according to afyonturkeligazetesi.com, which did not report his charges.
The logistics of the accident were not immediately clear Friday.
