A truck packed with labourers has flipped over on a southern Indian highway, leaving at least 22 people dead, including women and children.
The small truck carrying 35 labourers overturned on Saturday morning near Belgaum, about 500 kilometres from the Karnataka state capital of Bangalore, police said.
'The mini-truck overturned after the driver lost control and hit a roadside median on the state highway,' Belgaum police chief Chandra Gupta told AFP.
A crash survivor said: 'The driver was drowsy and driving fast when the vehicle hit the median.'
Twelve people injured were in hospital, while police filed a case against the driver for rash and negligent driving, Gupta said.
