Pakistani pilgrim bus overturns in Iran, killing 28

A bus carrying Pakistani pilgrims overturned in central Iran, killing 28 passengers and injuring another 23 people, state media reported on Wednesday.

The accident took place late on Tuesday in the central Iranian province of Yazd and was caused by a technical defect in the bus braking system, according to preliminary investigations made by the Iranian traffic police.

"Unfortunately, 11 women and 17 men lost their lives in this accident.

Seven of the injured people are in critical condition, and six injured people have now left the hospital," the crisis management director general of Yazd province told state TV.

Pakistan's consular services in Iran have been invited to Yazd province to follow up on the accident, the official added.
