At least 17 religious pilgrims were killed and 41 injured in a crash as they traveled to a shrine in southwestern Pakistan, officials said Thursday. The crash happened around 10 p.m. on Wednesday night in the Hub district of Balochistan province, district deputy commissioner Munir Ahmed told AFP, confirming the toll. “The truck was overspeeding and it went out of the driver’s control while negotiating a turn” and fell into a ravine in a mountainous town as they approached the shrine, he said. The travelers were en route to a prayer site during the Muslim holiday of Eid Al-Fitr, which is currently underway, he added. “The driver jumped out of the truck and remains safe,” he said. Shaukat Jalbani, the deputy medical superintendent of Hub’s main hospital, also confirmed 17 people had been killed and said most of the injured had been sent to nearby Karachi for treatment.
