At least four persons were killed and 31 others injured when a bus they were travelling in collided with a sand-laden truck in a south-central Chinese city bordering Vietnam.
The sleeper coach bus, carrying 44 people, was going from Guangdong province to the neighbouring Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region when the accident occurred last night, state-run Xinhua news agency reported today.
The road accident claimed the lives of four people - two each from both the vehicles - including the truck driver.
Besides, the condition of two people among those 31 injured was described as "serious" by the rescuers, according to the news agency.
The accident led to a traffic snarl and it could be resumed after six hours this morning. The cause of the accident is being investigated by the officials.
It was the second road accident involving a truck and a bus in Guangxi region this month.
On August 14, a truck driver was killed and 23 others injured when the vehicle crashed into a bus in the same region.
