At Least 23 Killed as Bus Tips Over and Falls Down Cliff in Turkey
ISTANBUL  Turkish authorities say at least 23 people have died and 11 others are in critical condition after a tour bus tipped over, fell 15 meters 50 feet down a cliff and then hit a car on a serpentine mountain road. Deputy governor of Mugla province, Kamil Koten, told Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency the driver is among the dead and most of those killed were women. Governor Amir Cicek said the bus flipped over at a road bend as it was traveling from the coastal province of Izmir to Marmaris, a popular tourist destination. Cicek said the passengers were all Turkish and the cause of the accident is unclear, pending investigation. Anadolu said the bus was in a convoy of six, carrying mostly women and children for a Mother's Day event.
