The passenger wagon was en route to the provincial capital from Mangochar when it rammed into the truck coming from the opposite direction, Mastung SHO Nazir Ahmed told The Express Tribune.
“Thirteen people, including the wagon driver, died as a result. Another seven were wounded,” he said, adding that the accident was caused by overspeeding.
Police and Balochistan Levies officials reached the site soon after. The fatalities were moved to the Mastung District Headquarters Hospital while the injured were referred to the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Quetta for treatment.
According to CMH officials, two of the injured are in a serious condition.
