The private DHA news agency said the explosion caused the driver to lose control and the vehicle veered into a ditch. The Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, has waged a more than three-decade old insurgency in Turkey's mostly Kurdish southeast region.The group is considered a terror organisation by Turkey and its Western allies.
