At least ten passengers were burnt to death and ten others injured when a van overturned and its CNG cylinder exploded near Nooriabad town in Jamshoro district late Sunday night, Dunya News reported.
The ill-fated van was traveling from Karachi to Hyderabad.
Medical teams have collected samples to conduct DNA tests to identify the bodies, many of which were charred beyond recognition.
Two victims including 40-year-old Musarrat and her husband Iqbal (45) have been identified by their relatives. Both were residents of Latifabad area in Hyderabad.
On the other hand, authorities have decided to cancel route permits of the bus transporter and register a case against the owner of the van.
Pakistan has an appalling record of fatal traffic accidents due to poor roads, badly maintained vehicles and reckless driving.
