Bus Accident In Pak: At least 40 people, including 11 Shia pilgrims, were killed and many others were injured in two separate bus accidents in Pakistan on Sunday. Police said that the first accident in Pakistan occurred when a bus carrying 70 Shia pilgrims from Iraq overturned on the Makran coastal highway in Balochistan province and fell into a ravine. 11 people died in the accident, while 35 pilgrims were injured. This bus was coming from Iraq via Iran.

Actually, the Makran Coastal Highway is a 653-km long national highway, which stretches from Karachi in Sindh province to Gwadar in Balochistan province along the Arabian Sea coast in Pakistan. According to police sources, most of the people on the bus were residents of Lahore or Gujranwala. Police said that it seems that the driver lost control of the bus, due to which the bus first overturned and then fell into the ravine.

He said that 11 bodies have been taken out of the ravine, while 35 injured passengers have been taken to the hospital. He said, "Four passengers are still trapped inside the bus and efforts are being made to rescue them."
