FAISALABAD: At least 19
people including two children were killed in an accident between a passenger
bus and a truck in Faisalabad early on Wednesday, officials said.
The accident took place near the town of Theekriwala in
Punjab province due to “speeding and reckless driving”, senior police official
Afzaal Ahmed Khosa told AFP.
“Nineteen
passengers including two women and two children were killed,” Khosa said.
Dr
Naeem Hashmi, who works at the Allied Hospital in nearby Faisalabad city, said
15 injured people were being treated in the emergency department. Two of them
were in a serious condition.
Pakistan
has a terrible road safety record due to poor roads, badly maintained vehicles
and reckless driving.
