Four people lost their lives and four others sustained injuries in a collision between a passenger car and a truck on the Makran Coastal Highway, officials said on Wednesday.
Rescue 1122, the state-run emergency response service, said the incident occurred when a Changan car and a truck collided near the Sapat Cross in Balochistan’s Lasbela district late on Tuesday night.
“Preliminary findings suggest the car driver may have fallen asleep, causing the vehicle to veer into the oncoming lane and crash head-on with a truck,” the statement said.
