At least 11 people have been killed and some 50 wounded in a motorway crash involving dozens of cars at the start of a national holiday in South Korea.

The pile-up happened after two lorries collided in thick fog on a bridge some 70km (45 miles) south-west of the capital, Seoul, police said.

Several of more than 20 cars involved in the crash caught fire.

The accident happened as millions of people in South Korea were travelling home for the autumn harvest holiday.

The crash, at around 0800 near the west-coast city of Pyeongtaek, caused huge traffic delays.

The injured were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment for both severe burns and crash wounds.
