DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Five children were killed and 16 people, including women, injured when a jeep carrying a wedding party overturned due to speeding on main Daraban Kalan road here on Tuesday. Police and local people confirmed that the jeep carrying wedding guests met the accident due to speeding. They said that the bridegroom, Ghulam Ali, earlier insisted to drive the jeep himself and it went out of his control and overturned. As a result, five children were killed and 16 other people, including women and children, suffered injuries. The bodies and injured, some of them critical, were taken to the district headquarters hospital.
Relatives of the injured later staged a protest against the DHQ hospital administration as doctors were not present to provide treatment to the injured persons. Four of the killed children were identified as Khalid, Qaiser, Kashif and Rehman, while name of the fifth one could not be ascertained.
