Ten people were killed and 14 injured Sunday when a passenger bus smashed into a truck on a busy national highway running through India's northern Uttar Pradesh state, police said. "Ten persons, including two women, were killed when the government bus collided head-on with a truck coming from the opposite direction," police official Rajendra Singh, told AFP in the state capital Lucknow.
Fourteen people were also injured in the accident, which took place near Bareli, 250 kilometres (150) miles from the capital, he added.
"The injured have been admitted to the hospital. Seven of them are serious," the police official said.
