At least 40 people died and another 4 were injured this Sunday when a bus fell into a ravine and later caught fire in the province of Balochistan, in southern Pakistan.
It is the worst accident of this type suffered by the country in almost a decade.
According to authorities, the bus crashed into a guardrail after taking a sharp turn, and fell facedown into a 15-meter ravine. In the vehicle were on board 44 passengers of which only four survived.
Today is the most serious bus accident in Pakistan since, in January 2015, 62 people died when a bus full of passengers collided with a tanker truck carrying gasoline in the south of the country.
According to data from the Pakistani government, around 30,000 people die annually in traffic accidents in the country.
