ISTANBUL, Mar 12 (Reuters) Twenty-five people were killed when a Turkish bus plunged into a river last week -- a much higher death toll than first reported -- and search teams are still looking for the missing, CNN Turk reported today.

On Thursday, 16 people were reported dead while rescue workers combed the wreckage of the bus, which was almost completely submerged in the river in the central Turkish province of Tokat.
