ISLAMABAD: At least 11 people were killed and more than 30 others injured in two separate traffic accidents in Abbottabad and Darya Khan, rescue officials said.
In the first accident, seven people were killed and 30 others injured when a passenger bus collided with a dumper near the Havelian Interchange on the motorway in Abbottabad.
Rescue officials said the deceased included a woman and a child. All the victims reportedly belonged to Gilgit.
The bodies and injured passengers were shifted to nearby hospitals, officials said.
The accident occurred after the bus suffered a tyre burst, causing the driver to lose control. The vehicle was travelling from Gilgit to Rawalpindi at the time of the collision.
In a separate incident, four people, including two women and two children, were killed when a tractor-trolley overturned on Haitu Khusur Road in the Darya Khan area.
Several others were injured in the accident.
Rescue officials said the people aboard the tractor-trolley were travelling from Tank to Sargodha. The bodies and injured victims were shifted to hospital.
