Eleven of a family, among them five women and two children, were killed when a jeep and a dumper collided head on in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain district, a police official said.
Those killed were travelling in the jeep. Angered over the deaths, which virtually wiped out a family, a mob set the dumper on fire.
