00:01Emergency crews worked to remove the mangled wreckage of a Polish bus on Sunday
00:05after it veered off a motorway in eastern Hungary.
00:09A dozen people were killed and at least 10 others were seriously injured in the crash.
00:13In a Facebook post, the prime minister of Hungary said the bus had run into a ditch
00:18and tipped over at around 1am.
00:20Crash survivor Helena Wuczek spoke to Reuters from her hospital bed about the ordeal.
00:30I was talking at that moment. I was talking on a phone with a friend back in Poland.
00:34And suddenly, boom, the bus just tipped over. It rolled, and I hit my head.
00:40But I was conscious enough to know what had happened, because all the seats were ripped out.
00:44People were under the seats. Everyone was screaming for help.
00:51I am also a victim. I have my shoulder cracked, broken ribs. My spine is also damaged.
01:00Wuczek also said she managed to pull two people out, including her sister, before collapsing.
01:05The bus, carrying 57 pilgrims and two drivers, was returning to Poland
01:10from a shrine to the Virgin Mary at Medjugorje in southeastern Bosnia.
01:15According to police, preliminary information suggested that the driver likely fell asleep.
01:20They added that the driver was being taken into custody.
