MULTAN, PAKISTAN: Police say two speeding buses coming from opposite directions have collided and crashed into a van on a highway in central Pakistan, killing 10 people and injuring 17 others.
Local police chief Arfan Buhadar says the collision took place early Sunday near the town of Jam Shoro, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of the city of Multan.
He says some of the injured are in critical condition and that the death toll could increase.
Buhadar says the drivers of the two buses fled shortly after the accident and an initial investigation shows careless driving was behind the crash.
Road accidents are common in Pakistan because of poor road conditions and disregard for safety standards and traffic rules by drivers.

Poland intercepts Russian plane over Baltic Sea
- Countries on NATO’s eastern flank have been on high alert for potential airspace incursions
- Fighter jets escorted from their area of responsibility a Russian reconnaissance aircraft flying near the borders of Polish airspace
WARSAW: Polish jets intercepted a Russian reconnaissance plane over the Baltic Sea, which was flying close to its airspace, the NATO member country’s army said on Thursday.
Countries on NATO’s eastern flank have been on high alert for potential airspace incursions since September when three Russian military jets violated Estonia’s airspace for 12 minutes just days after more than 20 Russian drones had entered Polish airspace.
“This morning, over the international waters of the Baltic Sea, Polish fighter jets intercepted, visually identified, and escorted from their area of responsibility a Russian reconnaissance aircraft flying near the borders of Polish airspace,” the army said.
It also said that at night, objects were observed entering Polish airspace from the direction of Belarus.
“After detailed analysis, it was determined that these were most likely smuggling balloons, moving in accordance with the wind direction and speed,” the army said. It added that part of the airspace over northeast Poland’s Podlaskie region, which borders Belarus, was temporarily closed to civilian traffic to ensure security.
