Two women remain in critical condition, doctors said.

The bus was travelling towards the town of Aytos, police said and added that the reason behind the incident is probably a mistake by the bus driver who attempted overtaking and hit the truck moving in the opposite lane.

After the crash the bus landed in the road ditch and crashed into a tree.

Luckily there was no gas spill from the truck, police reported.
