KARACHI: Four people were killed and 21 others injured when a passenger bus plunged into a deep ravine in Balochistan’s Sherani district on Saturday, officials said. The bus, carrying 25 passengers, was travelling from Islamabad to Quetta when the accident occurred, Sherani Deputy Commissioner Sana Mahjabeen Umrani said.
Four passengers, including a woman, were killed in the accident, while 21 others were injured, he said. The injured, including women and children, were initially treated at the Zhob Trauma Centre before being shifted to hospitals in Quetta.
The incident highlights Pakistan’s alarming record of road accidents, often caused by poor road conditions, untrained drivers and lack of safety measures.
Last month, 11 pilgrims were killed and 35 injured in a bus accident on the Makran coastal road. In May, 28 people were killed and 22 injured when a bus fell into a ravine in the Washuk area of ​​Balochistan.
