More than 50 vehicles were involved in an accident on a freeway in Shanxi province on Sunday night, leaving four people dead and 24 injured, Xinhua News Agency reported.

The crash happened at around 9 pm in the Huafeng section of Wenyuan Freeway. Two vehicles caught fire after colliding.

The accident started when a truck slid away to the curb of the icy road and turned over.

The truck was carrying oranges, which spilled all over the road, CCTV reported.

The accident caused a traffic jam with more than 100 vehicles, which were still lined up on the freeway on Monday. That section of the freeway is still closed, according to CCTV.
