Four people were killed
and 14 were injured in an expressway pile-up involving 12 vehicles
in central China's Henan Province on Thursday, a local official
said.
Visibility was down to
around 10 meters due to heavy fog when the accident occurred at
around 10:00 a.m. on the Xinxiang section of the Beijing-Hong
Kong-Macao Expressway, one of the injured was quoted by the
official with the Xinxiang municipal government as
saying.
The expressway section
