GADANI (Web Desk) – Bodies of twenty nine victims, who were killed in a road accident in Gadani district on Saturday, have been sent to Hub district for burial, Dunya News reported on Monday.

Identities of those killed in the accident were still unconfirmed due to non-availability of the DNA reports.

The DNA samples have been sent to laboratory to confirm the identities.

In Saturday’s incident, 35 people were killed when two passenger buses and a petrol tanker collided in southwest Pakistan.

The bus and the tanker had a head-on collision and the oil tanker turned over, but the situation got worse when a second passenger bus coming from behind rammed into the first bus as it skidded on the oil spilled on the road.

Most of the victims burned to death while trapped inside the bus, and 30 were injured.

 

Pakistan has one of the world s worst records for fatal traffic accidents, blamed on poor roads, badly maintained vehicles and reckless driving.
