KARACHI: A road accident between a passenger coach and a van trailer at Nooriabad killed at least seven people, including four women according to media reports.
The passenger coach was reported to be en route to Naushahro Feroze.
The bodies and injured were immediately shifted to Jamshoro Hospital for autopsy and treatment respectively.
The police officials said that traffic accident took place when a truck carrying coal from Ranipur to Sukkur attempted to overtake a passenger van on the Shah Hussain bypass.
ASP Rai Mazhar Iqbal said that the heavily loaded truck lost control while overtaking and fell on the van, which was on its way to Punjab from Karachi.
The deceased and the injured were shifted to Civil Hospital, Khairpur after being recovered from the crushed van. The van had to be cut open after the truck on top of it was removed with the help of cranes.
The motorway officials later said that the incident, which occurred around 7 am, was caused by overspeeding of both vehicles as well as the dense early morning fog.
Earlier, almost 20 people were killed in a deadly accident in Khairpur.
