Turkish bus hits bridge, 5 killed

At least five people were killed and 32 others injured early Thursday in a bus crash on the Eskişehir-Ankara highway in central Turkey.

The bus, which had departed from the Aegean city of Izmir, lost control about 35 kilometers (21 miles) outside of Ankara, the Turkish capital, and crashed into a pillar of a bridge.

A large number of firefighters were sent to rescue trapped passengers while the wounded were taken to hospital.

Part of the highway remains closed to traffic.

It is still unknown what caused the accident.
