A minibus carrying 20 people overturned on a bend in Țigănași, in Romania's Iași county, on Sunday evening, injuring 9 of the passengers, authorities said.

Why it matters for Europe

Nine of the twenty people aboard needed treatment, with reinforcements sent in from Vaslui county alone to cope with the response.
