CCTV has filmed the moment a school bus ran off the road and into a canal in southern Turkey, killing 14 people on board, including six children.

The vehicle is seen crossing a road in front of an oncoming car, before plunging into the water.

After creating a huge splash it then drifts along as people rush to the waterside from a nearby petrol station.

The victims included a teacher, the bus driver and the driver's assistant, the Hurriyet newspaper said.

The governor of the southern Osmaniye province, Kerem Al, said 26 others were injured.

At least one person suffered serious injuries, said health minister Recep Akdag.

The bus, which was carrying pupils, teachers and parents was returning from a trip to the archaeological site of Karatepe, outside the city of Osmaniye.

Most of the bodies were reportedly recovered by divers.

The children were from a school in the town of Iskenderun in Hatay province, which borders Syria and lies just south of Osmaniye.
