ISLAMABAD: Five people were killed — a woman and her daughter among them — and 20 others injured as a passenger bus collided head-on with a trailer in the Bhakkar city of Punjab on Saturday.
Police officials said the bus was on its way to Mansehra from Karachi. The dead and wounded were shifted to a nearby hospital.
In a separate incident in Okara, two people died and nine others — including females and children — sustained burn injuries as a fire erupted in a passenger van at Okara. Rescue officials and firefighters responded quickly and extinguished the blaze, a private news channel reported.
Rescue officials said the fire took place owing to a short circuit fire. The nine wounded were said to be in a critical condition.
