At least 20 people have been killed in a bus crash in northern Jordan.
Some 30 more passengers were injured when it collided with a water tanker, both vehicles falling 30 metres (100 feet) into a valley below.
The collision took place near the town of Jerash 90km (55 miles) north of the capital, Amman.
The bus had been travelling to Irbid from the Red Sea port of Aqaba, and most of the fatalities were reported to be Jordanian citizens.
Rescue crews attended the scene and police were investigating the cause of the accident.
It was not immediately clear if any foreigners were injured or killed in the crash, a police spokesman said.
