Pakistani officials say at least 13 people were killed and 14 were injured in an accident on Multan-Sukkur Motorway on Friday night.

District Police Officer Rizwan Umar Gondal told Dawn.com, a Pakistani website, that a passenger bus stopped to let its passengers off to help people in an overturned van.

As the passengers were helping the people, a Jeep smashed into the bus, resulting in the deaths and injuries.
