A bus carrying over 50 wedding guests met road accident in Pakistan's southern Sindh province on Tuesday afternoon, leaving at least six people dead and 40 others injured, according to local Urdu media.
The injured people including women and kids have been shifted to a nearby hospital where several of them are said to be in critical condition.
Police reached at the accident site after the crash and said the bus turned turtle due to over speeding. A case will be registered against the driver who has been shifted to hospital after sustaining injuries.
Road accidents frequently happen in Pakistan, mainly due to poorly maintained vehicles, dilapidated roads and negligence of road safety measures.
Traffic police officials say most of the accidents happen in the country mainly due to human error.
According to latest figures available with Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, road accidents killed an average 15 people every day across the country over a decade from 2005 to 2015.
