STORYLINE:
Traffic clogged Istanbul’s streets and stretched gas station queues on Wednesday after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.2 shook the Turkish capital and other areas.
The quake prompted widespread panic and injuries in the city of 16 million people, though there were no immediate reports of serious damage.
More than 150 people were hospitalized with injuries sustained while trying to jump from buildings, said the governor’s office in Istanbul, where residents are on tenterhooks because the city is considered at high risk for a major quake.
The quake started at 12:49 p.m. during a public holiday when many children were out of school and celebrating in the streets of Istanbul.
Panicked residents rushed from their homes and buildings into the streets. The disaster and emergency management agency urged people to stay away from buildings.
