CHAMAN: At least eight people were injured in a collision between two vehicles at Bypass Road area in Chaman town of Balochistan’s Qila Abdullah district on Saturday.

According to Levies, two cars collided with one another as a result of overspeeding.

Eight people received injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Two were stated to be in critical condition.

Chaman is the capital of Qila Abdullah district and is one of the two main crossing points for supplies for American and Nato troops fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Pakistan has one of the world's worst records for fatal traffic accidents, blamed on poor roads, badly maintained vehicles and reckless driving.
