Turkey: 22 Migrants Killed in Truck Accident While Fleeing to Greece
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In western Turkey, at least 22 migrants died and 13 others were injured
Sunday after a truck they were riding in crashed through a barrier and
landed in an irrigation canal. The migrants had reportedly arranged for
traffickers to take them by boat to the nearby Greek island of Samos,
where they hoped to apply for asylum in the EU.
