In Peshawar Pakistan, a bus and tanker collided. 18 people were killed and around 25 injured. Some of these injuries were very serious. This tally of the dead and injured will very likely change. Fortunately the tanker did not explode.
There are many reasons for bad accidents in Pakistan. Pictures of buses below in the articles show people are seated on top of bus. No nationalized standard of training for drivers. Vehicles in poor repair. People talking on cell phone while driving. People and domestic animals walking on road. Clearly some standards need to be set and enforced.
I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
