Eleven people died when a bus carrying a wedding party caught fire after hitting high-voltage power lines in Dadu on Sunday, police said. The bus was taking family members back to their village after a wedding party in the town of Dadu when it struck the power lines.
"The bus immediately caught fire after an iron box on its roof hit the high-tension wire, killing 11 people and injuring 14 others," a senior local police official Irfan Baloch told AFP.
Four women and three children were among those killed. Police and rescue officials along with local villagers struggled to save the injured from the fire, who were shifted to hospital.
