Earlier, on January 29, more than 40 people were victims of an accident in Pakistan. At night, a passenger bus crashed into a pole at high speed, after which it fell into a ravine and caught fire. Only three people managed to escape. Local authorities said that it was impossible to identify the dead.
According to available information, the cause of the accident was the poor condition of the road, non-compliance with safety measures and reckless driving.
