5 killed, 14 injured in bus crash near Ankara

Five people were killed and 14 others injured when a bus crashed in central Turkey on Saturday, state media reported.

The accident took place in Kahramankazan, north of Ankara, when the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle, which hit a pedestrian overpass and overturned, according to the NTV broadcaster.

The state-run Anadolu news agency said 14 people were injured, four of them seriously.

The bus was traveling from Ankara to Kızılcahamam, a town farther north, NTV said. It added that the vehicle was full because students were traveling for university exams.
