Polish Bus Overturns in Hungary, Killing 12 and Injuring 10PreviousNext

A Polish-registered bus overturned early Sunday on Hungary's M3 motorway near Mezokeresztes, killing 12 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 reports suggest the driver may have fallen asleep. Hungarian authorities have taken the driver into custody, and injured passengers were hospitalized. Polish officials expressed condolences and are coordinating with Hungarian authorities for further information.
