TEHRAN, Jul 18 - A Turkish official says at least 15 people have died after a van carrying migrants crashed in eastern Turkey.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Gov. Mehmet Emin Binmez told state-run Anadolu Agency that around 20 migrants were also injured in the accident.
The van rolled into a roadside ditch on a highway near the town of Ozalp, close to Turkey's border with Iran, after the driver lost control of the vehicle.
Over the past few years, migrants have crossed in large numbers into Turkey, from where they try and reach European-Union member Greece.
Last month, a van carrying dozens of migrants ignored orders to stop and crashed into a wall in a town in northwest Turkey, near Turkey's border with Greece. Ten migrants were killed in that accident.
