At least four people were killed and 25 others were injured after a van carrying refugees rolled over in the Adilcevaz district of the eastern province of Batman.
The minibus went out of control and rolled over after colliding with a pile of soil on the side of the road near Bahçedere village, the state-run Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.
The injured people, including the driver, were admitted to the hospitals in Adilcevaz, Ahlat and Tatvan in Bitlis, according to the report.
