Tuncay Sonel, the governor for the district of Seydisehir, central Turkey, says the accident occurred today on a stretch of road between the Mediterranean coastal resort of Antalya and the city of Konya, home of the shrine of the 13th-century Sufi poet Rumi. He says two of the injured are in serious condition. Sonel says the driver lost control of the bus in slippery road conditions but that an investigation is under way. (AP) AJR ASY 02152301 NNNN
