MULTAN: A mini-bus plunged into a canal, killing 11 passengers, including four children, in eastern Pakistan on Sunday, after the steering on the vehicle snapped, police said.
There were 25 people aboard the mini-bus when the accident happened near Tunsa Sharif, 210 kms south-west of Multan in Punjab province.
"We have recovered 11 dead bodies, and rescued 14 others from the canal," Khalid Mehmud, a senior police officer, said, adding that the vehicle's tie-rod controlling the steering had sheared in two.
