A trailer truck, stuffed with 41 people, flipped over in a village in southern Iran Tuesday killing two and injuring the 39 others, reported the official Iranian news agency (IRNA), quoting a press report. 

The daily Jam-e Jam said the truck was heading for Eqlid in Fars province.  

An official said Sunday that accidents on Iran's dangerous roads accounted for more than 30 percent of the nation's fatalities last year, more than twice the number who died of heart failure – Albawaba.com
