Tourist killed in Turkey bus crash

A bus carrying Swiss tourists has crashed near the Mediterranean resort of Antalya, killing a passenger and injuring 21 others.

Switzerland's Foreign Ministry said Wednesday one Swiss tourist was killed and 19 others were injured in the crash, with two in serious condition. The Anadolu Agency says the Turkish bus driver and tour guide were also hurt in the Tuesday accident.

The private Dogan news agency says the bus tilted to one side and skidded for some 50 meters (some 165 feet) before stopping.

The cause of the accident was under investigation.

The bus was heading back to Antalya after a day trip to the Pamukkale hot springs, a popular tourist destination and UNESCO World Heritage site.
