At least 33 people were killed and over 57 wounded as a passenger bus collided with a trailer in northeastern Pakistan on Monday morning, a rescue official said.
The passenger bus was on its way from Sialkot to Dera Ghazi Khan when it collided with a trailer near Taunsa By-Pass, the official told Anadolu Agency over phone.
All the injured have been rushed to a nearby hospital, he added.
Pakistan has had a long history of railway and bus accidents, mainly because of poor infrastructure and a lack of safety standards.
