Deputy Commissioner Ghazanfar Qadri stated that the bus was transporting laborers from the Bheel community who were journeying back home after concluding their work harvesting wheat in Balochistan.

The unfortunate incident transpired near the Bola Khan police station, resulting in injuries to over twenty passengers.

Authorities have verified the retrieval of at least a dozen bodies from the crash location. Hospital sources at Liaquat University Hospital in Jamshoro confirmed that four of the injured passengers passed away while receiving treatment, increasing the total number of fatalities to sixteen.
