A bus carrying employees of a gas refinery overturned in western Iran, killing 12 people and injuring 16. The accident between Abdanan and Dehloran was under investigation, while the death toll could rise, according to Iranian news agency IRNA.

Twelve people were killed and 16 injured after a bus overturned in western Iran, Iranian state media reported on Sunday. The accident occurred on Saturday evening between Abdanan and Dehloran, near the border with Iraq, according to the official IRNA news agency.

The vehicle was carrying employees of a gas refinery when it overturned, IRNA said, citing a local official. The authorities warned that the death toll could still change because of the severity of some injuries.

Road accidents caused nearly 20,000 deaths in Iran during the 12 months ending in March, according to the Iranian Legal Medicine Organization, which published the figure in June.
