Village car accident kills 7 in southern Kyrgyzstan

BISHKEK, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Seven people were found dead in a car accident at a village in southern Kyrgyzstan, the Ministry of Emergency Situations said on Monday.

The tragedy was caused by a Lexus ES300 crashing into an electric pole in the village of Myrzake in the Osh province in the south of the Central Asian country.

The car presumably caught fire as a result, and rescuers found seven burnt bodies within the car after putting out the fire. All the dead are believed to be men, the ministry said.
