At least 71 killed in two separate road accidents in Pakistan

In the first incident, a passenger bus overturned on a highway in Punjab province, resulting in the deaths of 10 passengers. Seven others sustained injuries.

Separately, eight people were killed when a passenger van collided with a truck in Naushahro Feroze district in Sindh province.

Police authorities in both incidents attributed the accidents to driver negligence.

Road accidents are a significant public safety concern in Pakistan, often attributed to factors such as poor road conditions, reckless driving, and inadequate safety measures.

Last month, 18 people lost their lives when a passenger bus carrying wedding guests plunged into the Indus River in northern Pakistan. (ILKHA)
