Bei einem Busunglück im Nordwesten der Türkei nahe der griechischen Grenze sind am 26. Juni 10 Menschen getötet und 30 weitere verletzt worden. Alle 40 Insassen seien illegalisierte Migrant*innen und Geflüchtete, auch wenn die Nationalitäten noch nicht bekannt seien, so die Berichte.

Ten illegal migrants died on Wednesday and 30 were injured when the driver of a packed minibus refused an order to stop and crashed into a shop in northwest Turkey, local officials and media said.

The driver ignored an order by a security official to halt, speeding up instead and crashing into a shop near the Greek border, the office of the governor of Edirne province said in a statement.

The private DHA news agency said there were 40 people in the minibus. All 30 survivors were injured.

The nationality of the illegal immigrants was not known.
