Nine people were killed and 26 were injured as a result of a bus accident in Ankara, DHA agency reports, citing the governor of the Turkish capital, Vasip Sahin.

Early in the morning, the driver of a passenger bus lost control of the vehicle, and the latter crashed first into the roadside barrier and then—into the overpass wall.

Several ambulances and fire-and-rescue vehicles arrived at the scene, and the road section is closed for traffic.
