At least 40 police officers were injured in a bus-truck collision in the Buner region of Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, officials told Radio Mashaal on February 4.
An official with the regional rescue agency said 50 people were on the police bus when it was hit by a truck near the village of Mandlam. The personnel were in the region to conduct work related to upcoming elections. Serious road accidents are common in Pakistan, mainly due to speeding, poor road infrastructure, and the use of unfit vehicles.
