SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, July 12 (Xinhua) -- At least 13 people were injured Thursday after a vehicle carrying them collided with a goods truck in Indian-controlled Kashmir, police said.
The accident took place near Birma Bridge in Udhampur district, about 200 km south of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
