Gamze Saklı was reportedly thrown from the vehicle onto the Black Sea Coastal Road in the Limanköy area of Çayeli, Turkey.
The 19-year-old died at the scene.
Two other young people, identified as 22-year-old Selinay Saral and 23-year-old Nilay Bilgin, also died in the crash.
The three victims were reportedly close friends.
At least four others were injured, three seriously, according to reports.
Ahmet Hamdi Ö., 65, İshak B., 67, Ahsen K., 21, and Sadık N., 50, were taken to a hospital in nearby Rize, where they are receiving treatment.
The collision reportedly occurred after one driver lost control, hit a lamppost on the central reservation, and then crossed into the opposite lane.
The car collided head-on with a second car, which was then rear-ended by the minibus, as reported by Need To Know.
Gamze was an actress and most recently had a role as a supporting actress in the 2025 TV series “Gözleri Karadeniz”.
The fictional drama, set in Turkey’s Black Sea region, centres on a family power struggle and romance storyline.
Gamze was laid to rest in her hometown of Sırt village, Çayeli, yesterday (24 Jun).
One friend wrote online: “Rest in peace, beautiful girl. May your soul rest in light.”
An investigation into the accident is underway.
