The crash occurred Friday on a highway near the town of Polatli, outside the capital, Ankara. The bus was traveling from the western city of Izmir to Agri. The crash led to the closure of one side of the highway. An official says there were no skid marks on the road, suggesting the driver might have dozed off.
