Bus and Truck Crash in Eastern Pakistan Leaves at Least 11 Dead

A passenger bus and a truck collided in eastern Pakistan on Thursday, killing at least 11 people, The Washington Post reports.

The Washington Post published its report on the collision on Thursday, November 5, 2026. The outlet did not specify in its headline or summary which road or district the crash occurred on, or how many other people were hurt.

Few further details were available in the initial reporting. The Washington Post's account did not identify the vehicles' operators, the number of passengers on board, or the condition of anyone injured in the collision.

Road collisions involving buses and heavy goods vehicles are a recurring safety concern in Pakistan, though the material available on this incident does not include official figures or statements from local authorities.

The Washington Post's report is among the first accounts of the crash, and casualty figures in the aftermath of such incidents can change as emergency teams finish their work at the scene and hospitals update the condition of the injured.

Watch for updates from Pakistani police and rescue officials, who typically release confirmed casualty counts and details of the crash site once an investigation begins.
