At least 12 individuals lost their lives and more than 30 were injured when a passenger bus crashed head-on with a truck on Depalpur Road in Punjab, Pakistan, according to the rescue department. The incident occurred on Thursday evening around 200 kilometers from Lahore.
The Punjab Emergency and Rescue Service 1122 reported that the bus, en route from Sahiwal to Kasur, collided with a truck heading in the opposite direction. The collision was so severe that the bus overturned, necessitating the use of cutting equipment to extricate the injured passengers.
Tragically, ten passengers perished instantly, while two more succumbed to their wounds in the hospital. Five of the 32 injured are reported to be in critical condition. Eyewitnesses suggested that the bus driver's overspeeding on the single-carriageway road might have contributed to the accident.
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz expressed profound sorrow over the loss of life and directed officials to provide the most effective medical care possible to the injured passengers. She also offered her condolences to the families of the deceased.
