At least 57 people have been killed and scores wounded in a collision between an oil tanker and passenger coach in Pakistan.
The death toll increased as both vehicles caught fire after the accident on Saturday night, reports Pakistan-based the Dawn.
“We have received more than 57 dead bodies but the death toll may rise as most of them are completely burnt and stuck to each other,” Doctor Semi Jamali at Karachi's Jinnah hospital said.
She said the bodies of six children were stuck to the bodies of some women who may have been their mothers.
It was impossible to separate the remains,” she added.
“They are beyond recognition, they can only be identified by DNA test,” she said.
The accident took place when the oil tanker crashed into the Shikarpur-bound bus from Karachi on the Super Highway Link Road.
Police said the passengers sitting atop the bus jumped off to save themselves when the vehicles caught fire after collision.
