At least 12 people were killed and eight others injured when a passenger bus overturned in Pakistan’s Salt mountain range on Wednesday, officials said. The bus was traveling from the city of Quetta to the town of Harnai when it fell into a ravine near the village of Sarwakai. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but officials believe that the bus may have been speeding. The injured passengers were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The Location is located in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. The range is home to a number of dangerous roads, and accidents are not uncommon. In recent years, there have been a number of fatal bus accidents in the region. In 2021, a vehicle carrying pilgrims to a religious shrine crashed in the Salt mountain range, killing 22 people.
The government of Pakistan has pledged to improve road safety in the country. However, progress has been slow, and accidents continue to occur. The latest bus accident is a reminder of the need for improved road safety measures in Pakistan.

Here are some of the possible reasons for the accident:
- Speeding: The bus may have been speeding, which could have caused the driver to lose control.
- Mechanical failure: The bus may have had mechanical problems, which could have caused the accident.
The government of Pakistan should investigate the cause of the accident and take steps to prevent similar accidents from happening in the future.
