A passenger bus has crashed off a road and overturned in western Türkiye, killing at least eight people and injuring dozens.

Health Minister Fahrettin Koca posted on Twitter on Sunday that 42 people were injured, with three in critical condition.

The governor’s office of Afyonkarahisar province said the bus was traveling from the southeastern Diyarbakir province to the Aegean city of Mugla.

Videos from the scene showed ambulances lined up and a crane holding the bus up.

An injured passenger with a broken arm told Anadolu Agency that he was half asleep when the bus “flew.” He said people were stuck underneath the bus.
