ANKARA, Turkey ? A passenger bus collided with a truck on a single lane road in southeast Turkey on Wednesday, killing 25 people, an official said.
Gov. Mustafa Toprak of Diyarbakir province said 16 other passengers were injured in the accident on a road linking Diyarbakir with the neighboring Batman province. He said some of the injured were in serious condition.
The mid-sized coach collided head-on with the truck, which was carrying bricks, said Ferit Basar, the mayor of the small town of Yukari Salat near the site of the crash.
The road was reduced to a single lane due to roadwork at the time of the crash, which probably helped cause the accident, Basar said.
Dogan news agency video footage showed medics stepping over a partly-covered body to rush an injured person on a stretcher to an ambulance. Body bags were placed side by side on the road, which was scattered with bricks.
The bus' front-end appeared cut open from the impact of the crash.
