A brake failure caused a semi-trailer loaded with cement crashing into a car, a bus and a truck on an expressway in southern Fujian province, killing 11 and injuring 35 others. A second accident happened in northern Hebei province, where a truck loaded with stones crashed into a village temple fair in Fuping county. The truck rolled over, the stones fell off and hit villagers, killing six immediately. It says two more people died in hospital from their injuries. Road accidents involving heavy trucks are common in China, where overloading is routine and where drivers often ignore safety measures.
