SCOOBA, Miss.—Eight people—including four brothers—were killed before dawn Monday in a head-on collision between a box truck and a passenger van on a rural highway.

All the deceased were passengers in the van, Kemper County Sheriff James Moore told The Associated Press. They did tree work for an agricultural company, Moore said. Most were from Macon, Mississippi—about a 20-minute drive from the crash scene, he said.
