Investigators were examining a bus rollover on the Abdanan–Dehloran road after 12 people were killed and 16 injured, Iran’s IRNA news agency reported Sunday.
IRNA placed the late-Saturday crash between Abdanan and Dehloran, near the Iraqi border. A local official cited by the agency said the passengers worked at a gas refinery. IRNA reported that the crash was under investigation.
In June, the official Iranian Legal Medicine Organization reported nearly 20,000 traffic deaths in the 12 months ending in March. That figure covers a period that ended months before the latest crash.
