A truck crashed into a minibus in southern Yemen killing 14 people, including three children, a hospital source said Thursday. 

The accident happened Wednesday on a road between the southern Lahj and Aden provinces when the truck driver lost control of his speeding vehicle after a tyre blowout, police said. 

Four people were also badly injured, they said.
