Nine people have been killed in a car accident in the central Turkish province of Sivas.

Two vehicles had a head-on collision in the morning and all the occupants died, the governor of Sivas, Salih Ayhan, told the Turkish state broadcaster TRT on Thursday.

Three children aged 1, 5, and 15 were among the dead, he said.

The other dead were three men and three women.

The accident happened because one of the vehicles crossed into the oncoming lane, the governor said.

Television pictures showed two cars completely destroyed.

The accident occurred on a motorway in the Golova district.
