At least eight people were killed and 28 others injured after two buses collided in Turkey's eastern Igdir province on Monday, local channel CNNTurk reported.

The accident occurred on the highway linking Igdir's Aralik district with the Dilucu border gate near Azerbaijan.

Due to thick fog, the two buses crashed as they passed each other, Igdir Governor Ahmet Turgay Alpman said.

Both drivers and six passengers, one Turkish and five Azerbaijani nationals, were killed in the crash. Most of the wounded are also Azerbaijani nationals.

The rescue works are going on since there are still people trapped inside the buses.
