Bus accident in eastern Pakistan kills 7

FAISALABAD, PAKISTAN (BNO NEWS) -- At least seven people were killed and several others were injured when a passenger bus collided head-on with an oncoming truck in eastern Pakistan, police said on early Friday morning.

The accident happened on Thursday near Faisalabad, located in Pakistan's Punjab province, when a bus carrying eleven people struck an oncoming truck. The bus was reportedly heading towards Faisalabad.

Police said all the eleven people on board the bus were from a local town and were on their way back from a picnic at the Chenab River. Seven people were confirmed dead, including a 10-year-old boy, while two others were seriously injured.

The impact of the collision was so strong that, according to reports, the collision was heard several miles (kilometers) away, alerting local residents in the surrounding area to help with the rescue efforts. Local residents helping at the scene transported the injured to Allied Hospital. Rescue teams were forced to cut through the bus to reach one of the dead bodies.

In mid-July, six people were killed when a passenger bus collided with a transport truck on a national highway near Sibi. Fifteen others were transported to area hospitals.
