Bus crash in Croatia kills at least 12

A coach carrying pilgrims to a shrine in Bosnia crashed in northern Croatia early on Saturday, killing at least 12 people and injuring several others.

Report informs, citing Euronews, that Croatia's interior minister said the victims were probably Catholic pilgrims on their way to the Medjugorje shrine.

The ministry initially announced on Twitter that 11 people had died. Officials said one more passenger died later in a hospital and that the bus was carrying 43 people.

Croatia's state HRT television said the most likely cause of the crash was the driver falling asleep.
