Sichuan: Five people were killed and eight others injured after an overloaded minivan crashed into a residential building in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
According to Qatar News Agency, citing Chinese police, the accident occurred on Tuesday when a small van carrying 13 people, nearly double its approved capacity of seven, veered off the road and slammed into a roadside house in the city.
Police reported that the impact damaged the building and caused part of it to collapse, though no one was inside at the time.
