At least 16 sixteen people are dead and more than 50 injured after two buses collided in Russia's far east.
Wednesday's collision occurred on a highway linking Khabarovsk, which sits on the border with China, and Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
The Investigative Committee, the nation's top investigative agency, has opened a probe into the alleged violation of traffic rules.
Prosecutors said the driver of one of the buses drove into an incoming lane to bypass construction vehicles repairing the road and lost control of the vehicle.
Russia's Health Ministry said 56 people were injured.
Ambulances and helicopters have rushed to the site to evacuate the wounded, more than 20 of which were in grave condition.
