The crash happened around 10 pm on Wednesday in the Hub district of Balochistan province, District Deputy Commissioner Munir Ahmed said, confirming the toll. "The truck was overspeeding and it went out of the driver's control while negotiating a turn" and fell into a ravine in a mountainous town as they approached the shrine, he said. The travellers were en route to a prayer site during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.
