贵州省36辆车连环相撞，死亡人数上升到9人

中国西南部周六上午发生的连环撞车事故死亡人数已从开始的六人上升到九人。事故发生在贵州省安顺市通往上海和昆明的高速路上。由于大雾能见度低，总共36辆车连环相撞，其中七辆车相撞后着火，19人受伤。

The death toll from pile-ups on Saturday morning in Southwest China has risen to nine from the previously reported six, local traffic police said.

The accident occurred in Anshun, Guizhou province, on the expressway linking East China's Shanghai and Kunming in the Southwest.

A total of 36 vehicles were involved in a series of pileups on a one-kilometer section of the expressway around 9 am as a result of heavy fog, police said.

Seven cars caught fire in the accidents, which also left 19 people injured, according to police.

Traffic has resumed.
