RAWALPINDI: At least five people were left dead and six others injured in a traffic accident in District Attock, sources in the motorway police informed Geo News.

A passenger van en route to Battagram from Islamabad overturned near the Chach Interchange after the left wheel of the vehicle burst, said sources. 

The injured were shifted to Tehsil Headquarters Hospital Hassan Abdal.  

Last week, at least ten people were killed and eight others injured after a passenger van was crushed by a truck in Abbottabad.

The van, en route to Islamabad from Mansehra, was crushed by a truck transporting wheat, as it tried to overtake the latter from the wrong side near Sabzi Mandi.
