The governor of Gaziantep province Davut Gul said that the deaths and injuries were sustained “in an accident involving a bus, an emergency team and an ambulance... between Gaziantep and Nizip”.
Local media gave a higher toll than the provisional figure given earlier by the governor, reporting 16 deaths and 21 injuries.
The governor added that those killed include three firefighters, two medical workers, and two journalists.
The incident occurred when a passenger bus crashed into an ambulance, a fire engine, and a bus carrying journalists, according to DHA news agency.
Photos on DHA showed the back of an ambulance ripped out and metal debris strewn around it.
