From the latest toll provided by the authorities, 19 are dead, 20 injured, following the massive road accident that occurred in the eastern Chinese province of Jaingxi, county of Nanchang.

From what has been reconstructed so far, a truck - for reasons that are not clear at the moment - overwhelmed a funeral procession.

According to some witnesses, the heavy vehicle crashed into the tail of the procession, stopping only behind the car carrying the coffin.

A possible cause could have been night fog: a warning to motorists for poor visibility had been issued.
