Web Desk(LTN News): According to officials, at least 17 flood victims died of burns on Wednesday night in southern Pakistan when the bus they were riding in the caught fire as they were returning home.
The event happened on the M-9 highway, which links Hyderabad and Jamshoro in the province of Sindh with the port city of Karachi.
According to Siraj Qasim Soomro, parliamentary health secretary, “so far, 17 people have died in the tragedy, and 10 were injured and treated by rescue teams.”
On the bus were about 35 passengers. Asif Jameel, Jamshoro Area Commissioner, stated that the passengers in the bus were flood victims who had relocated off the highway and were returning to Dadu district. Jameel said that they were employing private transportation for the occasion. One of the Sindh province’s worst-hit districts by the floods is Dadu district.
The source of the fire was not immediately known, but according to authorities, it appears to have started in the bus’s rear and spread to the entire vehicle. To escape the flames, some people leaped from the bus. When an oil tanker and a car crashed on a highway near Multan, Southern Punjab, in August, 20 people died.
In Pakistan, fatal traffic accidents happen often, largely as a result of speeding, subpar road conditions, and the use of unsafe automobiles. More than 100 individuals lost their lives in the area in 2017 when an oil tanker flipped over and caught fire.
