Seven people, including two children, were killed and five others injured after a head-on collision between a minibus and an SUV Sunday afternoon in central China's Hubei Province.
The minibus collided with the SUV at around 3:00 p.m. on a section of National Highway 106 in Tongshan County of Xianning City. The icy road due to days of snow and sleet contributed to the collision, a local government spokesman said Monday morning.
Seven died at the scene. The five injured were rushed to a local hospital for treatment, the spokesman said.
The cause of the accident is under investigation.
