KHUZDAR: Six policemen were killed in a head-on collision between a car and a truck on the Quetta-Karachi national highway in Wadh area on late Saturday night.

The personnel were on their way to Hub from Quetta, Khuzdar SSP Fahad Khoso said.

A truck coming from the opposite side hit the car, killing all six men on the spot, while another was injured.
