Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has expressed his condolences to the families of the victims of the Hungarian bus crash and wished a speedy recovery to the injured in a message posted on his Facebook page on Sunday.
The bus, operated by Volmer-Tours, was bringing back Hungarian tourists from Croatia with 56 people on board. The bus crashed on the M7 motorway near Szabadbattyán, 70km from Budapest, early Sunday, killing eight. A further eight of the more than 50 passengers were seriously injured and 40 suffered light injuries after the bus broke through the barrier, hit a pillar on an overpass and rolled over into a stream.
