Head-on collision kills at least 12 in Argentina

BUENOS AIRES, 27 June (BelTA - Xinhua) - At least 12 people were killed on Sunday when a passenger bus collided head on with a pickup truck and turned over in Mendoza province in Argentina.

The accident, which took place along a highway outside San Rafael, a town in western Mendoza province, also left at least 20 others injured.

"Most of the victims are dancers belonging to a dance group from Buenos Aires that was returning from Malargue (Mendoza), following a tourist visit," the daily La Nacion said on its website.

An image of the crash site showed a bus turned over on its side, alongside what appears to be a curve in the highway.

The injured were taken to an area hospital and the investigation to the accident was underway.
