Police also said the driver took inappropriate actions to slow down the truck on a crooked and slope road.

All the injured have been taken to nearby hospitals. Of them, seven, who suffered from more severe injuries, have been admitted to a better hospital, the Tangshan No. 2 Hospital.

The seven, aged between 3 and 59, are recovering from their fractures and scratches, doctor Zhang Shuyan said.

Traffic police in Tangshan, which administers Luanxian, have stepped up checks on overloading of vehicles in the wake of the fatal accident.
