Xinhua, April 3, 2015 Adjust font size:

Nine persons were killed and one was seriously injured when the vehicle they were traveling in collided with a milk van early Friday morning at Dindigul in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, said police.

The toll could rise as the condition of the injured who were admitted to hospital were serious.
