A speeding bus overturned on a highway in Pakistan's Sindh province early Thursday, killing at least 13 passengers and injuring 32 others.

Media reports revealed that the accident took place on the National Highway near Sukkur, the third-largest city in Sindh province.

The bus was travelling from Multan to Karachi. Most of the passengers were reportedly asleep at the time of the accident, Geo News reported.

The report said the causalities include women and children, adding that the condition of several of the injured is said to be critical.

Meantime, all passengers trapped in the coach have been evacuated, and the overturned bus was lifted by a crane after a rescue operation by locals.

Notably, road accidents are common in Pakistan due to poor infrastructure and disregard for traffic laws.
