(SomaliNet) At least 23 people were killed when a bus collided head-on with a truck in north-east India's Assam state on Tuesday, police said.

Another 40 people were injured in the crash.

The incident took place in Assam's Dhubri district, about 300 km west of the state capital Dispur.

Police and transport department officials say there were nearly 5 000 major road accidents in Assam in 2007, mostly due to reckless driving by untrained drivers and poor road conditions, that killed around 1 600 people.-Agencies
