A head-on collision between an SUV and a car on the Indus Highway near Manjhand in the Jamshoro district resulted in the deaths of 10 individuals, including Zain Turabi, the son of the late Allama Hassan Turabi.

The accident occurred on Friday and also left over 30 injured.

Five of the deceased were identified as Zain Turabi, 22; Syed Ali Jan Rizvi, 30; Khuwaja Ali Kazim, 15; Khuwaja Nadeem, 25, all from Gilgit Baltistan; and 35-year-old driver Abdul Ghani Mangrio. They were returning to Karachi after attending a religious event in Khairpur.

The other vehicle involved was transporting devotees from Lahore to the shrine of Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan.

All six occupants of that vehicle sustained injuries, identified as Bilal Niazi, Ahsan Niazi, Majir Niazi, Muhammad Ishaq Niazi, Aziz Bhatti, and Muhammad Shabbir.

Two of the injured were reported to be in critical condition and were transferred to Liaquat University Hospital in Hyderabad.

Rescue teams from Hyderabad and local police arrived at the scene but were unable to save any lives due to the long distance and lack of trauma centers along the highway.

In a related development, at least six pilgrims from Punjab died when their van collided with a trailer in Nawabshah.
