Two Britons have died and five other people have been injured in a jeep safari accident in Turkey.

The group's open-top vehicle crashed into a telegraph pole as they returned from a day trip to the Saklikent Gorge near Fethiye in the south west of the country, according to reports.

Of those who were injured, two were also British and three were Turkish nationals, including the driver.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are aware of a jeep safari accident near Fethiye in Turkey involving four British nationals, two of whom have died and two of whom have been hospitalised. We are providing consular assistance."
