STORYLINE:
A bus carrying Palestinian pilgrims overturned and crashed into a trailer on a highway near the Israeli border on Saturday, killing at least 15 people.
A Civil Defence statement said 14 pilgrims and the driver died in the accident, while another 32 Palestinians were injured.
The statement said the pilgrims were passing through Jordan on their way back to the West Bank from Muslim holy shrines in the cities of Mecca and Medina in neighbouring Saudi Arabia.
It said the bus driver lost control of the brakes, skidded and collided into a trailer, then overturned about 20 kilometres (12 miles) east of the Israeli-controlled Allenby Bridge.
One woman injured in the accident said from her hospital bed that the driver lost control while speeding.
"We were on our way back, the bus was speeding, then lost control and overturned, because of the high speed," said Tofaha Abu Asamen.
The bridge across the Jordan River is used for passengers and cargo traded with the West Bank.
