8 dead, 4 injured in road accident near Sehwan

Passenger bus hit by a dumper truck on Indus Highway.

SEHWAN: In a tragic road accident on Indus Highway, eight people were killed while four others sustained injuries when a passenger bus was hit by a dumper truck, Express News reported on Sunday.

The engine of the passenger bus stopped working near Sehwan and the vehicle was parked on the road when the dumper coming from behind hit it.

Express News correspondent Nazar Ali reported that the parked bus was not visible to the dumper because of the untrimmed wild shrubs in the area. The driver of the dumper managed to escape after he hit the passenger bus.

The bus coming from Karachi was carrying residents of Madina Colony. The deceased include four children.

Earlier in March, multiple road accidents in Sindh on the National, Indus and Super highways resulted in the deaths of 11 passengers, while leaving almost 100 others injured.
