QUETTA: At least 40 people were killed and eight others injured when a Peshawar-bound passenger bus fell into a ravine just as it left the Dhanasar area of Balochistan’s Sherani district and crossed the provincial border into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Dera Ismail Khan on Friday, officials said. “According to initial reports, 40 people have been killed and eight others injured in the accident,” a statement issued by the Balochistan chief minister’s aide for media and political affairs, Shahid Rind, said. It added that rescue efforts were initiated soon after the incident on Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti’s directives.
