A Polish-registered bus overturned early Sunday on Hungary's M3 motorway near Mezokeresztes, killing 12 people and injuring at least 10. The bus, carrying 57 passengers and two drivers, was traveling towards Nyiregyhaza when it veered off the road into a ditch. Preliminary police reports suggest the driver may have fallen asleep. The driver is in custody, and injured passengers have been hospitalized. Polish officials expressed condolences and are coordinating with Hungarian authorities for further information.
