At least 23 people died in two separate road crashes in Pakistan on Saturday. Six of the victims were children. The first crash happened in Punjab's Sargodha district. A truck carrying 23 people fell from a bridge into a dry canal in Kot Momin tehsil early in the day. A Punjab Emergency Services spokesperson said the truck had members of one extended family traveling from Islamabad to Faisalabad for a funeral. "As the motorway was closed because of heavy fog, the truck took a local route. It fell from the Galapur bridge in Kot Momin tehsil into a dry canal as the driver lost control over the vehicle because of poor visibility," the spokesperson told news agency PTI. Nine people were injured and are being treated at the Civil Hospital in Kot Momin. In Balochistan, near Gwadar, a passenger coach overturned on the Makran Coastal Highway, killing at least nine people and injuring 15 more. Superintendent of Police Aslam Bangulzai confirmed that over-speeding caused the coach, traveling from Jiwani to Karachi, to overturn early Saturday. Dense fog and extreme cold have disrupted traffic on Punjab’s motorways and roads, with some sections closed due to low visibility. Pakistan often faces deadly road accidents caused by over-speeding, poor traffic rule enforcement, driver fatigue, and weak licensing. On December 31, 14 passengers died in a head-on crash between a bus and a van on the Jhang-Faisalabad road in Punjab.
