SIX people were killed and three injured in three road accidents during the May Day holiday in Shanghai, while 12 passengers on board a company bus managed to escape after the vehicle veered into a river.
About 9am today, a mixer truck collided with an electronic moped on the intersection of Shenzhuan and Jiasong highways, killing the moped driver and his 11-year-old grandson on the scene, local news portal Xinmin.cn reported.
According to the report, the man was driving his grandson to a relative's home for a newborn celebration lunch.

Half an hour after the family accident, a sanitation truck lost control when backing and bumped into a shanty at a construction site on Menggu Road. A 50-year-old worker from Anhui Province was killed and two others injured, Xinmin.cn reported.
Traffic police are investigating the three accidents.
