Former German footballer Mesut Ozil and Turkish President’s son Necmettin Bilal Erdogan’s convoy was involved in a road accident on Thursday evening, February 19, 2026, in the Kutupalong area of Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar. The incident occurred around 7 p.m. on the Cox’s Bazar–Teknaf highway while they were returning after attending an iftar with Rohingya refugees. Police reported that a motorized rickshaw collided with the VIP convoy, leaving the rickshaw driver injured, though no one in the delegation, including Ozil, was hurt.
According to Shahpari Highway Police Station Officer-in-Charge Saiful Islam, the rickshaw was seized following the accident, and the injured driver received local medical treatment. Authorities have initiated an investigation and will take necessary legal action. Earlier in the day, Ozil and an 11-member Turkish delegation visited several Rohingya camps, played football with refugees at Camp 4, and joined them for iftar in the evening.
Police confirmed that the accident caused no injuries among the visiting delegation, and the situation was brought under control promptly.
