At least 13 people, including several children, were killed in a horrific traffic accident near the Jadida Shat district of Diyala province, Iraqi media reported on Tuesday.
According to police sources, a Hyundai Accent and a Kia Cadenza collided and both vehicles caught fire. "Seven people, four of them children, were killed in the Accent, while six others died in the Cadenza,” the report said.
A source from the Diyala traffic department said the Cadenza driver was primarily responsible for the accident. The driver died on the scene, while a nearby truck driver, whose vehicle sustained minor damage, was detained for questioning.
