11 killed, 26 injured in two road accidents in Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan
QUETTA: At least 11 people were killed and 26 others injured on Saturday in two separate road accidents in Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province, government officials said.
The first crash occurred on the N-85 highway near Panjgur when a Khuzdar-Panjgur bound passenger bus collided with an Iranian Zamyad vehicle carrying smuggled diesel. The vehicle burst into flames on impact, setting the bus ablaze.
“Eight people were killed in the accident and three injured,” said Panjgur Deputy Commissioner Kabeer Zarkoon, adding that one critically injured passenger had been referred to Karachi for treatment.
Footage seen by Arab News showed the bus completely gutted by fire.
