QUETTA (Dunya News) – At least ten people were killed and several others injured when a passenger bus met with an accident on Makran Coastal Highway in Balochistan.

The Karachi-bound bus from Pasni overturned due to over speeding near Buzi Stop. Rescue teams immediately rushed to the scene and shifted injured persons to naval hospital in Ormara.

Pakistan has a poor traffic safety record, with frequent fatal accidents blamed on reckless driving, bad roads and shoddily maintained vehicles.

Earlier on September 22, at least 23 people were killed and 18 others injured when a bus hit a rock and plunged into a ravine in the Babusar Top area, bordering Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province with Gilgit-Baltistan.
