MAPUTO, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- A transport bus collided head-on with a freight truck in Maputo Province, southern Mozambique, killing at least six people and injured seven on Saturday morning.

"The cause of the accident was a reckless driving by the bus conductor as we found he was on the phone and driving in high speed," said Francisco Nhanala, an police officer who was working at the scene of the accident, where the bus crashed into the truck on the national main highway about 30 km to Manhica village.

The month of December is characterized by huge traffic flow in Mozambique because in this month many people travel to their hometown to spend festival season with their families.
