At least 20 Muslim pilgrims die in Pakistan bus crash
A bus crammed with pilgrims coming back from a religious festival crashed in southwest Pakistan on Friday (June 11), killing at least 20 and leaving 10 others critically injured, officials and a hospital doctor said.
The bus careened off the road into a ditch during the early morning in the Karkh area of Khuzdar district, in Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan.
Deputy Commissioner Khuzdar Bashir Ahmed told Reuters the victims were pilgrims who were returning from attending a religious festival honouring a local Muslim saint, and the victims were from the province of Sindh. Ahmed said all the dead were males.
Traffic and rail accidents are commonplace in Pakistan, partly because of the poor state of roads and track.
