A bus crash in western Turkey has killed at least 11 people and injured 27 others. The incident occurred near the entrance to a motorway when a coach overturned after colliding with a truck. Emergency services were called to the scene, where they found the bus partially submerged in a water-filled ditch.
Rescue teams worked through the night to extract survivors from the wreckage. Initial reports indicated that the bus had been traveling on a narrow road when it lost control and crashed into the truck. The collision caused the bus to flip over, trapping several passengers inside.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the exact cause of the crash. Preliminary investigations suggest the accident may have been due to a combination of poor road conditions and high speeds. Local officials have urged drivers to exercise caution on similar stretches of road.
This is the second major road accident in the region this month. A similar incident in the same area last week resulted in six fatalities. Both accidents have raised concerns about road safety in western Turkey.
The government has announced plans to increase surveillance and improve infrastructure on the affected roads. However, experts warn that without long-term investment, such incidents are likely to continue.
