A passenger bus in Pakistan crashes into a deep ravine/ditch, killing at least 40 people and injuring others, according to multiple outlets. Reports describe the bus as an intercity service running on a mountainous route, with sources citing travel between Quetta and Peshawar, as well as Quetta and Islamabad, depending on the account. Authorities say the bus loses control on the road and plunges into a rocky ravine/ditch near the border area between Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. One account places the crash near the Zhob district of Balochistan, while another notes the bus enters Dera Ismail Khan district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after crossing Balochistan’s Sherani district. Rescue agencies respond to the accident, and figures reported across outlets include 40 deaths and eight injuries, with one report stating 48 passengers on board. Deutsche Welle adds that authorities believe the bus is overcrowded and may have been speeding, contributing to the loss of control. The exact cause of the crash is not fully established in the reports, but investigations and response efforts are underway.
