ANKARA: At least twelve people have been killed and 13 others were injured as a bus crashed into a bus stop in Ankara, Turkey.

Ankara Governor Mehmet said that the accident in the Dikimevi district was caused by a public bus driver losing control of the vehicle.

The governor said the bus first crashed into the bus stop and came to a halt after running over victims and dragging them meters away from the bus stop.

Sources said that the bus also hit eight cars on the street before it came to a halt. The bus driver escaped uninjured from the accident and was being interrogated by police.
