LODHRAN: A child was among four dead while another 28 were injured when a bus carrying wedding guests overturned after colliding with a truck in the Mandhali Mor area of Punjab’s Lodhran district on Sunday. According to a statement issued by Rescue 1122 Lodhran, the “high-speed coaster” overturned while crossing in front of an overloaded truck, killing four people on the spot.

The deceased included two men, one woman, and a child. Another 28 were injured, with 27 sustaining severe injuries and rushed to the Lodhran District Hospital, and another person receiving immediate medical assistance at the scene.

Separately, Lodhran District Police Officer (DPO) Ali bin Tariq reached the site of the incident immediately after being alerted. He stated that reasons behind the accident are being determined, and legal action will be taken against those responsible.

Last month, at least 24 people were killed in two separate accidents on the same day: a truck fell into a dry canal in Punjab’s Sargodha district, while a coach overturned near Balochistan’s Ormara tehsil. Days later, five persons, including a school-going child, died in two separate traffic accidents due to poor visibility caused by dense fog in Nankana Sahib and Sialkot.
