Lahore: <\/b><\/p>\n

As many as 16 people were killed and 15 others injured in a road accident in Pakistan’s Punjab province today.<\/p>\n

Many women and children were among those killed when a passenger bus carrying about 40 persons smashed into a pick-up truck carrying diesel drums and burst into flames on the Faisalabad Motorway near Pindi Bhattian, Pakistan’s Geo News reported.<\/p>\n

Fire engulfed the bus en route to Islamabad from Karachi shortly after it hit the pick-up truck near the Pindi-Bhattian Interchange at 4 am, District Police Officer (DPO) Fahad said.<\/p>\n

The injured were transported to Pindi Bhattian and Faisalabad Hospital, said the medical superintendent.<\/p>\n

The death count is expected to rise as the condition of four of the injured is said to be critical, the report said.<\/p>\n

DPO Fahad however said 16 bodies were recovered from the bus and would be identified through DNA testing.<\/p>\n

Road accidents which are common across Pakistan claim numerous lives on a daily basis.
