Eleven people, thought to be refugees, have died in Greece, when their vehicle collided head-on with a truck and burst into flames, police say.

The 11 individuals were traveling close to the city of Kavala in the northeast of the country when their mini-van collided with the truck in the early hours of Saturday. The truck driver managed to escape but occupants of the other vehicle were trapped and died in the blaze, police said.
