Two killed after trailer catches fire

GUJAR KHAN: Two men were burnt to death after their trailer caught fire on Sunday.

The trailer loaded with cement bags was coming from Chakwal. When it reached Bhangali at Mandra-Chakwal Road, its driver dozed off.

As a result, the vehicle skidded off the road and the cement bags fell on the driver and his helper besides causing a short circuiting.

Consequently, the trailer caught fire and the driver and helper were burnt to death before the arrival of any rescue personnel.

The deceased were identified as Irfanullah, a resident of Lakki Marwat, and Sakhi Jan, of Bannu.
