Eleven people were killed and 27 injured when a tour bus collided with a truck in the Manisa district of western Turkey on Sunday. ## What Happened The coach turned over after hitting a lorry near the entry to the motorway that links Bursa with the coastal city of Izmir. It came to rest across the safety barriers with its windscreen shattered. ## Reaction The Manisa governor’s office posted the casualty toll on X. Turkey’s interior minister Mustafa Ciftci wrote that emergency teams were at the scene and that authorities were closely monitoring the incident in coordination with all relevant agencies.
