4 dead in massive car pileup

Source: Xinhua | 00:01 UTC+8 February 6, 2018 | Print Edition

Four people died in a 53-vehicle pileup on a freeway in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, police said.

The pileup occurred at around 6:10am yesterday in Kunming City, on the freeway that connects Kunming, the provincial capital, with Chuxiong, also in Yunnan.

Four people died after falling off a highway bridge — they had left their vehicles to try to climb across to another lane — according to the provincial traffic police. Three people suffered minor injuries in the pileup.

Icy roads have been blamed for the accident.

The freeway was temporarily closed to traffic, with more than 80 people stranded.
