Bangui - At least 25 people were killed and 19 injured in the Central African Republic when a truck loaded with passengers and luggage collided with a tanker vehicle on a bend, police said on Thursday.

The accident happened on Wednesday on a road 90km north of the capital, Bangui. The wounded and the bodies of those killed were taken to hospitals in the capital.

"We were surprised by the sudden appearance of the tanker truck coming from the opposite direction around a corner. The next thing I knew I woke up covered in blood with my two legs broken," one of the survivors told reporters.
