Fifteen killed as vehicle with migrants crashes in Turkey: reports

ISTANBUL, Oct 14, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Fifteen people, including children, died
on Sunday when a vehicle carrying migrants plunged off the highway into a
river-bed in western Turkey, state media said.

The vehicle, believed to be a lorry, was travelling from Aydin towards the
Aegean city of Izmir when it flipped over and fell into the river several
metres below, state-run Anadolu news agency said.
