An Iranian passenger bus turned over near Dogubayazit town of eastern Turkey's Agri province, which borders Iran, leaving 14 dead and 23 others injured, Agri Governor Mehmet Cetin said in a statement on Monday. The injured were taken to hospitals in the province for treatment. Cetin also noted that the death toll may rise as some passengers were in serious conditions.
