Bus crash kills 2, injures 14 Iranians in Turkey

At least two people have been killed and 14 others injured when an Iranian tour bus was hit by a truck in the central Anatolian town of Sivas in Turkey.

The crash took place late Friday after Turkish truck driver Osman Gogce, who was reportedly speeding, lost control of his vehicle and hit the bus in a head-on collision.

Ambulances were sent to the scene and gendarme paramilitary police worked to save passengers trapped inside the bus. The injured were taken to nearby hospitals.

The Iranian bus driver, Saeed Rajabpour, was taken to Cevdet Aykan State Hospital where doctors struggled but ultimately failed to save his life since he had lost an excessive amount of blood.

Road accidents are quite frequent across Turkey, killing dozens of people and injuring many more each year.
