A Pakistani police officer says the death toll from an accident in the southern Sindh province in which a minibus struck a power line and burst into flames has climbed to 13 after five people died at hospitals overnight.
The minibus was carrying a wedding party and had metal dowry furniture strapped to the roof. When the furniture snagged the power line the bus burst into flames and crashed into a tree.
Six women, a man and a child were electrocuted to death.
Police officer Altaf Chandio said another two women and three men died at different hospitals as a result of severe burns.
Chandio says 15 people are still being treated for burns and other injuries at hospitals.
Such incidents are not uncommon in Pakistan, where drivers routinely ignore traffic laws.
