At least 34 people were killed and more than 90 received wounds when a passenger bus collided with a trailer in Dera Ghazi (DG) Khan.
According to the details, the DG Khan bus accident occurred near Taunsa By-Pass where a passenger bus, travelling to Sialkot from Ranjanpur, collided with a trailer, killing twenty-seven persons on the spot.
The emergency rescue teams arrived at the spot and moved the dead and injured to the district hospital.
On the other hand, the ill-fated passenger bus that collided with a trailer in Dera Ghazi (DG) Khan was not ‘roadworthy’, well-informed sources said.
Sources privy to the development said that the bus was overcrowded and was not a mechanical fit to hit the roads.
Earlier near Pull Rango, a similar incident occurred killing six people and injuring 30 others when the passenger bus was travelling in turned turtle after skidding off a bridge in Khanewal.
The driver of the vehicle lost control while trying to avoid hitting a motorcycle, due to which the bus overturned, sources added.
