A tourist bus crash has injured at least 20 people in the Dominican Republic, with several reported to be in a serious condition.

The bus was transporting a group of mostly Russian tourists to the airport when it collided with a truck.

Some injuries include the loss of limbs and eight children were among the injured.

The bus was carrying 39 tourists.

"There are no dead among our citizens, but there are several people with injuries of various severity," Russian embassy officials told Russian news agency TASS.

The bus flipped over on collision with the truck, and some reports say the truck driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel.
