At least 17 people have been killed while 41 others have sustained injuries after a truck fell into a ravine in Balochistan. The accident took place when the truck filled with religious pilgrims was travelling to a shrine in southwestern Pakistan. “The truck was overspeeding and it went out of the driver’s control while negotiating a turn” and fell into a ravine in a mountainous town as they approached the shrine, district deputy commissioner Munir Ahmed told.
The travellers were en route to a prayer site during the Muslim holiday of Eidul Fitr, which is currently underway, he added. “The driver jumped out of the truck and remains safe,” he said.
Shaukat Jalbani, the deputy medical superintendent of Hub’s main hospital, also confirmed 17 people had been killed and said most of the injured had been sent to nearby Karachi for treatment.
