Twenty seven people, including women and children, burned to death when a Panjgur-bound bus collided with a truck near Lasbela Cross and caught fire that destroyed both vehicles within a few seconds and left the bodies charred beyond recognition on Monday, officials said.
Nearly half a dozen people were also injured in the deadly collision, as the condition of one of them was said to be serious.
The officials were not sure what really caused the tragic accident and said the first priority of the administration was to retrieve the bodies, trace their family links and shift the injured to hospital.
The bus belonging to Jehanzeb Coach Service had left Karachi in the evening and met with the accident a few hours later near Lasbela Cross, around three kilometres from Bela City.
