Turkey bus crash horror: 14 killed and 18 injured after coach veers off major motorway and rolls down bank

Fourteen people have been killed and at least another 18 injured after a bus veered off a major road and rolled down an embankment in western Turkey. 

The crash happened around 4.40am local time in Balikesir province, the local governor’s office said.

Eleven people were declared dead at the scene while three others died later in hospital.

Pictures showed how the bus had come off the road while exiting a highway and going around a sharp bend, before rolling down the embankment.

While the bus came to rest on its wheels, its roof had been crushed after it rolled over.

Emergency crews could be seen removing passenger’s luggage from the crushed vehicle while a crane hauled the remains of the vehicle away.
