NAUSHAHRO FEROZE: Four workers of the Kandiaro toll plaza and a boy were killed on Thursday when a Swat-bound passenger coach went out of its driver’s control and hit the toll plaza cabin and a car, queuing up along with other vehicles to get tickets.

Nineteen other people were injured in the incident.

The deceased workers were identified as Mansoor Mangrio, Naseeruddin Mazari, Bedo Mazari and Pervaiz Ahmed Arain, and the boy as Bahadur. All of them died on the spot.

The bodies and injured were transported to the Kandiaro hospital where several of the injured were admitted for treatment.
