At least 20 died and 50 have been injured after a speeding bus with pilgrims overturned on a highway and fell into a ravine in Balochistan, Pakistan on Friday.

The accident took place in Khuzdar, a district in Balochistan province. Rescuers took the dead and injured to military and government hospitals.

The pilgrims were getting back to Dadu, a district in Sindh province, after visiting a shrine of a Sufi saint.

Deputy commissioner, Bashir Ahmed in the Khuzdar district, said the driver lost control on a sharp turn.

Officials added that the bus was overcrowded and several pilgrims were also sitting on its roof.

Some of the injured are going through critical condition. The bus driver was also injured.

“There is not a single passenger of the bus who does not have an injury after this accident,” Ahmed said.
