The 2011 Kütahya earthquake struck near a populous region of western Turkey at 23:15 EEST on 19 May with a moment magnitude of 5.8 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VII . With an epicenter just to the east of Simav, it occurred at an estimated depth of 9.1 kilometers , resulting in strong shaking in much of Kütahya.
Many locals panicked and power was lost to most of Simav. A hospital in Simav reported an unknown number of injuries, and some buildings sustained damage. An elderly woman in İnegöl suffered a heart attack in the immediate aftermath of the tremor, and was later confirmed dead. In Simav, one person was killed after being struck by a concrete block. More than 450 weak aftershocks followed; the strongest registered at a magnitude of 4.6.
