A bus has collided with a truck on an expressway in eastern China, killing at least 36 people and injuring nearly 40 others, local officials say. It is one of the deadliest road accidents in China in recent years.
The accident happened on Saturday morning when a bus carrying 69 people veered onto the opposite lane and collided with a truck which was carrying 3 people. It happened on an expressway in eastern Jiangsu province.
