Ten bus passengers, including four women, lost their lives as the tie rod of their vehicle broke down at Kehnsar village, near Umerkot and fell into the deep ravine here on Tuesday, Edhi ambulance service officials said.
The bus, carrying 25 devotees, was traveling from Chacharo to Umerkot after visiting Gul Muhammad Shah Ghazi Goth.
The accident caused injuries of varied degrees to the other
passengers who were carried to a nearby health centre by the villagers.
According to eye witness accounts, the driver lost control of the
speeding bus on a road which had become slippery due to intermittent
rainfall in the area. SANA
