NIZHNY NOVGOROD, July 1 (RIA Novosti) - At least people including three children were killed on Wednesday when a tanker truck and a car crashed head-on in the Perm Territory in the southwest Urals, an emergencies service spokesman said on Wednesday.

The refueller truck lost a wheel, swerved into the oncoming lane and collided head-on with a Lada car during the afternoon on the Krasnokamsk-Overyata highway. The male car driver and his four passengers - a woman, two children and a baby - all died.

The spokesman did not have information on the truck driver's condition.

He said a fuel leak occurred as a result of the crash, but that there was no threat of fire.
