BAGHDAD – An Iraqi police spokesman says five Iraqis were killed and eight injured after their minibus collided with a U.S. military vehicle that was traveling in the wrong lane.
 
Spokesman for Babil provincial police Maj. Muthana Khalid says Wednesday's accident occurred about 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Baghdad on the road to Hillah.
 
He says the minibus was carrying a family on their way to visit a cemetery. He says the wounded Iraqis were evacuated on American helicopters and there were no U.S. casualties.
 
Dr. Adnan al-Zurfi confirmed the morgue at Hillah's general hospital had received the five bodies.
 
U.S. military spokesman Maj. Joe Scrocca said there was an accident involving a U.S. vehicle and an Iraqi civilian vehicle but did not have details.
