On July 3, local time, an intercity bus plunged 25 meters into a ravine on the Dana Sar highway in Pakistan, leaving 40 people dead and 8 injured.

It was reported that the bus was overloaded, as it had also picked up passengers from another bus that had broken down.

Police are investigating the circumstances of the accident based on statements from survivors, who claimed that the bus crashed during a physical altercation between the driver, who wanted to take on more passengers, and a passenger who was protesting the decision.
