KHUZDAR: Five people, including a local journalist, were killed in two separate road accidents in Winder and Khuzdar district, police said on Monday.

His body was shifted to a hospital and later handed over to his family. He was buried on Monday afternoon.

Separately, four people, including two brothers, were killed when a passenger bus coming from Karachi hit their car in the Darakhala area of Wadh. “All four persons lost their lives on the spot,” a police official said.

Police shifted the bodies to the district hospital. The victims were identified as Bashir Ahmed, Habibullah, Ghulam Mustafa and Manzoor Ahmed.
