A devastating accident on the Coastal Highway in Ormara, Gwadar, claimed the lives of six people, including two women and two children, after two vehicles collided and caught fire.
SP Coastal Highway Police Aslam Bangulzai said the accident occurred on Wednesday in Ormara, located in Balochistan’s Gwadar district.
A vehicle travelling towards Karachi collided with another vehicle coming from Turbat, causing the vehicles to catch fire.
As a result of the collision, six people were burned to death, including two women and two children.
The police official said Coastal Highway Police personnel rushed to the scene after receiving information about the accident and shifted the bodies to a hospital.
Last month, at least 40 people were killed and eight others injured after an overcrowded passenger bus fell into a ravine in a remote district of Balochistan province, an official said, in one of the deadliest road accidents in recent years.
The fatal accident occurred in Dana Sar, a mountainous area on Balochistan’s border with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, when the bus with 48 passengers aboard veered off a narrow road and plunged into a 400-feet deep ravine on its way to Peshawar from Quetta.
