Broadcaster NTV said some of the passengers had fallen off the bus as it rolled into the ditch.
The destination of the bus and the nationalities of the migrants were not immediately stated.
More than a million migrants and refugees, many fleeing conflicts and poverty in the Middle East and Africa, have passed through Turkey in recent years on their way to the European Union.
According to Reuters, numbers declined sharply in 2016 when Turkey, in exchange for 3 billion euros in EU aid and a promise to ease visa restrictions for Turks, began to exert more control on migrants trying to cross to Europe.
