Forty people have been killed and eight others injured after a bus fell into a deep roadside ditch in Pakistan’s South Western province of Balochistan.
The bus operated by a private intercity service was headed to Islamabad from capital, Quetta.
There were 48 passengers on board at the time of the incident, the injured have been taken to a government hospital in Zhob city in Sherani district.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, but preliminary reports suggest a steering fault may have led the driver to lose control before skidding off the mountain range.
