Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwelve people were killed and 16 injured when a bus overturned in western Iran, state media says.
The accident between Abdanan and Dehloran, near the Iraqi border, was under investigation, the IRNA news agency says.
“After a bus carrying employees of a gas refinery overturned, 12 people unfortunately lost their lives and 16 were injured,” IRNA says, citing a local official.
Authorities have warned the death toll could rise due to the severity of some of the injuries, the report says.
Iran has a poor road safety record. Traffic accidents claimed nearly 20,000 lives in the 12 months to March, the official Iranian Legal Medicine Organization said in June.
