Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) – At least 50 people were feared dead after a bus plunged into a river in northern Pakistan Thursday, state-run media said.
The bus was bound for Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, and was just a few miles from its destination when the driver lost control, Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Imtiaz told the Associated Press of Pakistan.
Witnesses told the APP that the bus was overcrowded and some people were riding on the roof.
Imtiaz said rescue teams and ambulances were dispatched to the scene and that at least 12 bodies have been recovered from the gushing river.

Re: This is even more serious issue..

The road from Islamabad to Muzzafarabad is terrible and passes gorges and precipes with no safetey barriers and drivers have no regard of the rules of the road.

It's shame we as akaum have failed to tackle this basic issue. :(

Re: This is even more serious issue..

You are very right Degas, completely agree with you. Every other day there are 10-20-30 casualties just because of driver's negligence, carelessness, adventurism. Department of transportation should be punished for such incidents.
