A truck in Rahim Yar Khan, Punjab, crushed a passenger bus, killing over a dozen people and injuring many more.Rescue workers claimed that a passenger bus sank into a sinkhole on Feroza Central Road during the event. There were casualties as a truck fell over the bus after it became stranded.
Five people were initially killed, but as rescue teams began removing bodies from the minibus, the death toll rose to 13. According to the authorities, five injured people have been sent to a local hospital for treatment.
The rescue efforts were impeded by strong rains, according to the officials.This is not the first sad event caused by rain; since the nation was slammed by intense monsoon downpours last month, which paralysed major cities including Karachi, countless lives have been lost.
