Tehran (Agencies): At least ten people were killed in a bus accident at one of Tehran´s largest universities, Iran´s news agency Tasnim reported on Wednesday.
The bus was carrying 30 students along a mountainous road within the science research campus of Islamic Azad University in northwestern Tehran when it came off the road and hit a concrete column on Tuesday.
Seven were killed instantly, state TV said, while an updated death toll of 10 was reported by Tasnim the day after the crash.
