At least 13 people have been killed and about a dozen others were taken to hospital after a crash near the US-Mexico border in southern California, the California Highway Patrol has said. A Ford Expedition SUV carrying 27 people hit a semi-truck, or large lorry, full of gravel around 10 miles (16km) north of the border, killing 15 people, initial reports said. But, according to NBC, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) „later clarified“ that 13 people, aged between 20 and 55, were dead. Some 25 people were inside the SUV. A 16-year-old was among the injured, the CHP said, with the oldest aged 55.
