Islamabad : At least 11 people were killed and over a dozen injured in two traffic accidents in Pakistan Tuesday, media reports said.
Citing Urdu TV channel Ary, Xinhua said nine people were killed and a dozen injured when a bus heading towards Karachi from Punjab province overturned around 7 a.m. near Nawabshah city in Sindh province.
Traffic police said the bus overturned when the tyre rod broke.
A couple of hours later, a passenger van’s CNG cylinder blew up, killing at least two people on board, and wounding several others in Narowal city in Punjab.
