A tractor carrying 80 people collided with a motorcycle around noon Monday in Qiubei County, southwest China's Yunnan Province. The tractor, driven by a farmer without a driving license, fell off the road, killing 27 people and injuring 53.

A car tipped over Monday afternoon in Gejiu City, Yunnan, killing four people and injuring one.

A minibus drove into a roadside ditch Monday afternoon in Dangshan County, east China's Anhui Province, killing four people and injuring one.

While dodging a farm vehicle on the road, a truck tipped over at roadside Monday afternoon in Gaozhou City, south China's Guangdong Province, killing three people.
