HARBIN: Four people died and four were injured Sunday after a head-on crash between a cargo truck and a mini-bus in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province.

Police said that the truck from Qing'an county swayed to the left side of the road due to brake failure and bumped into a mini-bus at about 7:40 am in Tieli city.

Four people on the mini-bus died at the scene, and two people on the bus and another two on the truck were injured, said a spokesman of the emergency response office of Yichun city, which Tieli is part of.
