Balangir (Orissa) : Seven people were killed and 12 seriously injured Monday when a vehicle carrying them collided with a truck in Orissa's Bolangir district, an official said.

The vehicle was carrying elderly patients to hospital for cataract operations when it hit a gas-loaded truck coming from the opposite direction in Kandagada, some 20 km from the district headquarters.

"Five people died on the spot and two died on their way to the hospital. Twelve people have been injured and four are in critical condition. We are trying to shift them to VSS Medical College of Burla," said P.C. Sahu, chief medical officer of Bolangir.
