Road accident kills six

DEMAK, Central Java: A truck crashed into a Colt pick up truck early on Sunday morning here, killing six and seriously injuring nine others.

All the dead and injured were the passengers of the Colt pick up truck. They were workers hired to harvest paddy in the neighboring regency of Grobogan, also in Central Java.

A similar case took place in Central Java on Nov. 24 last year, when a bus smashed into an Isuzu Panther pick up truck in Batang regency here, killing 17 people. All of the fatalities were passengers of the pick up truck. -- JP
