A dozen people were killed and at least 10 seriously injured after a Polish bus carrying 57 pilgrims veered off a motorway in eastern Hungary, in an accident that a survivor described as "unimaginable", APA reports citing Reuters.
Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said on Sunday in a Facebook post that the bus had run into a ditch and tipped over, at around 1 a.m..
The bus, which also had two drivers on board, was returning to Poland from a shrine to the Virgin Mary at Medjugorje in southeastern Bosnia.
Polish President Karol Nawrocki said on X: "It is with deep sorrow that I received the tragic news of the Polish bus accident in Hungary, in which so many of our compatriots died."
