According to DC Lasbela, 16 people were wounded while they were being taken out of the vehicle, adding that four severely wounded have been shifted to a hospital. The bus was leaving for Panjgur from Karachi, he said. DC Mengal said that the fire had been brought under control.

Multiple major road accidents were reported last year, resulting in several casualties. In early August, at least 18 people, including women and children, died in a collision between a passenger bus and a tanker.
In July, 11 passengers were killed and several others sustained injuries in a three-vehicle crash near Nawabshah.
