CHANGSHA: At least two people died in a seven-truck pile-up that caused a 10-km traffic jam on China's Beijing-Zhuhai arterial highway Tuesday, said police.
The accident occurred at about 6:30 am in Leiyang City, Hunan Province, when the trucks were heading south.
Traffic police designated lanes on the south-to-north side of the highway for traffic from both directions, he said.
Luo said police were investigating the cause of the accident.
The Beijing-Zhuhai highway extends more than 2,000 km from the capital to the coastal city of Zhuhai in Guangdong Province.
