ANKARA, Turkey – A bus carrying Russian tourists skidded off a highway in southern Turkey and fell off a bridge Tuesday, killing 16 passengers and injuring 25 others, officials and news reports said.
The bus flipped over and fell about 20 feet (six meters) onto a river bed, NTV television footage showed. Deputy Gov. Mehmet Seyman of the Mediterranean province of Antalya said rescue workers struggled to pull the bodies and injured from the wreckage. NTV television, citing local authorities, said the driver was sleeping at the wheel. |
