Two people were killed and 25 others injured in a 7-vehicle pileup accident, including a coach bus, in southwest China's Guizhou province, local authorities said Monday.

The accident occurred around 7 a.m. on a section of the expressway that links Shanghai and Kunming, capital of southwestern Yunnan Province.

The injured had been sent to local hospitals. Their conditions are unknown.

Traffic authorities said heavy fog might be to blame for the accident, yet a further investigation is under way.
