GUJAR KHAN, July 28: Two speeding buses rammed into a roadside fence at G.T. Road during the early hours of Saturday.

According to eye witnesses the two buses coming from Rawalpindi were having a race when they went out of control in front of the DSP office in Gujar Khan, veered off the road and hit the roadside iron fence.

At least ten passengers sustained serious injuries. It is pertinent to mention that the speed limit in the urban area is 60 km/hr but the reckless driving of buses, cars and trucks goes on unchecked under the very nose of the officials of National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP).
