Nine killed as train hits bus in Turkey

The bus was bringing workers to an industrial zone on the edge of Mersin city.

It was hit on a railway crossing by the train on its way to neighbouring Adana.

All the dead were in the minibus. Three of the injured were said to be in a serious condition. No one aboard the train was hurt, Euronews reports.

Local media reports suggested the level crossing barrier didn't come down because of a signal failure.

Video footage on the DHA website showed a crushed minibus on the side of the tracks and medics trying to reach the injured.
