Shed tire leads to 11 deaths in Jiangsu

A tire shed by a truck caused a crash in Jiangsu province on Sunday that killed 11 people and injured 19, Yancheng's public security bureau said on Wednesday.

A little after midnight on Sunday, the right-rear tire of the truck disintegrated and fell onto the Shenyang-Haikou Expressway in Yancheng. Eighteen minutes later, another truck, trying to avoid the obstacle, lost control and drove through a center guardrail.

It then crashed into a bus, which overturned and caused a rear-end collision between two other trucks.
