A bus has driven off a pier in southern Russia killing 12 and leaving three others missing, reports itv.com.

 

Twenty people were rescued after the bus plunged into the Black Sea, the Emergency Situations Ministry said.

 

Eight people have been hospitalised, five of them in a serious condition, officials added.

 

The bus was carrying workers who were building a pier for an oil company not far from Crimea.

 

Investigators did not immediately give a cause for why the bus drove off the pier on Friday morning.
