At least three people were killed and 13 others injured when a passenger coach collided with a motorcycle in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Dera Ismail Khan district on Wednesday, according to Rescue 1122.
The coach was carrying members of a Tablighi Jamaat group when the accident occurred, the emergency rescue service said.
Rescue 1122 teams rushed to the scene after receiving information about the collision and immediately launched an operation to assist the victims.
According to rescue officials, the accident affected 16 people, including two women and a child.
Emergency personnel provided first aid to the injured at the scene before transporting them to Mufti Mahmood Hospital for further medical treatment.
The bodies of the three deceased were also shifted to the hospital.
Rescue officials said the injured had been identified, while the identities of those killed were not immediately available.
The cause of the collision was not immediately disclosed.
The latest accident follows two deadly road crashes in Pakistan over the past week.
At least eight people were killed and 30 others injured last week when a passenger bus collided with a dump truck near the Havelian Interchange on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Hazara Motorway.
A day earlier, another collision involving a passenger bus and a truck near Pakpattan in Punjab claimed 11 lives and left 33 people injured.
The three accidents have collectively claimed 22 lives and left 76 people injured, highlighting continuing concerns over road safety and passenger transport accidents in the country.
