Two people were killed and 12 more were hospitalised after dozens of vehicles were involved in a major traffic accident in China’s Anhui Province on Thursday.

The incident led to a 70 car pile-up, writing off many of the vehicles and bringing traffic to a standstill on the Hefei-Huainan-Fuyang Expressway in east China.

In total it was reported that over 20 people were injured as a result of the pile-up, with two people dying from their injuries.

Emergency services have been working for the past 24 hours to clear the wreckage and open up the road once again.
