The truck driver died on the spot while four passengers were said to be in a critical condition.
The injured were being shifted to Karachi for medical treatment.

Really a very SAD ACCIDENT. 10 people have already lost their lives and 25 more are injured. What is our highway police doing ? Just licking their MASTERS' SHOES - THE SO CALLED POLITICIANS ?
What en-route medical facilities are available for such travelers ? Why a complete medical treatment is not available in Uthal area that the injured has to be brought to Karachi for treatment ? Are we still living in the 18th and 19th Centuries ? When our citizens will get the BASIC LIVING FACILITIES or this RIGHT is reserved for Zardari's and Sharif's that if they SNEEZE they run to London to get the medicines and that also on Nation's expenses ?
