Greece tourist bus disaster claims four lives

Four individuals have lost their lives after a tourist bus and a car crashed into each other on a road in Greece.

The big bus had license plates from Serbia, and it had about 80 people on board.

Photos taken at the location near Kilkis in the northern part of the country depict a vehicle turned over on its side in a trench with its windows broken or taken out.

All four people who died were in the car. It is believed that three of them were from Greece and one was from Russia.

The police first said that three people had died, but later a fourth person also died due to their injuries.

Local news reports say that 49 people on the bus got hurt and were taken to hospitals in Kilkis and Thessaloniki.

According to a Greek news site called Kathimerini, there were Serbian people who were visiting the coastal town of Asprovalta for their vacation.

The website said that another car was also involved in the accident.
Approximately 20 firefighters went to the accident with six vehicles for rescuing people.

The local police started an investigation into the crash.

Many parts of Greece are currently experiencing storms and floods.

Videos from the island of Skiathos, which is located to the east of the mainland of the country, showed fast-moving floodwater passing by hotels and homes earlier this week.
