Ten people traveling in a van in southwestern Kentucky were killed Friday when a tractor-trailer crossed the median and smashed head-on into their vehicle, authorities said. The tractor-trailer driver also died.

It was the deadliest vehicle wreck in Kentucky in about 20 years, said Lt. David Jude, a spokesman for the Kentucky State Police.

Though 10 people in the van were killed, he said, two children riding in child-safety seats survived. The van carried passengers from Burkesville, Kentucky. The tractor-trailer driver who died was from Alabama.
