QUETTA:
Three people have been killed and six others injured in a road accident in the Othal area of Balochistan, the Levies Force said on Wednesday. A passenger coach was on its way to Karachi from Gwadar when the driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to ram into an oil tanker coming from the opposite direction. Soon after the incident, local administration reached the site and shifted the dead and injured to a nearby hospital. The accident was most likely a result of over-speeding, officials said.
