Eleven people are dead following a head-on crash with a truck on a Greek motorway.

According to police, cited by Reuters, the 11 people killed, thought to be migrants, died when their mini-van collided with a truck and burst into flames in the early hours of the morning. The truck driver managed to escape the smash but the 11 occupants of the mini-van were trapped, and perished when the wreckage caught fire.
