Coimbatore: Ten people, who were travelling in a freight van, suffered injuries after the vehicle rammed the median near Kinathukadavu on Wednesday morning.
Some of the injured were admitted to the government hospital while others were treated as outpatients, police sources said.

Condition of passengers injured is stable, the officer added.
