STORYLINE:
A speeding truck hit three donkeys and rammed into an oncoming tourist vehicle in northern Tanzania, killing 11 people from New Zealand, Spain, Sweden and Tanzania, police said on Wednesday.
At least four other people were seriously injured, including some with broken limbs and bruises, said regional police chief James Kombe.
Kombe said three people from Spain, two from the Netherlands, and one each from New Zealand and Sweden were killed in the accident, which occurred late on Tuesday.
Three Tanzanians and an unidentified tourist also died in the crash, which happened as the group was driving into Tanzania from Kenya to visit some of Tanzania's national parks.
Kombe had earlier said four people from Spain, two from Sweden and one each from New Zealand and Switzerland were killed in the accident together with the Tanzanians.
He said he was liaising with the Spanish and Swedish embassies to know how to proceed with the bodies.
A Spanish diplomat Emilio Pin said he was trying to repatriate the bodies and the injured.
The injured remained hospitalised on Wednesday.
Two Spaniards were transferred to Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre.
An unidentified British woman was flown to neighbouring Kenya for further treatment.
The dead Spaniards were identified as Javier Felices, 30, Oscar Contreras, 30 and Maria Jose Yllanes, 22.
All three were volunteers for the aid group Engineers Without Borders, from the southern Spanish city of Seville.
