ISLAMABAD: Eight people were killed while 18 others were injured after a passenger bus met with an accident in Pakistan's eastern Punjab province on Sunday, state broadcaster Radio Pakistan reported. As per local media reports, the passenger bus was heading to the eastern city of Lahore from Pakistan's capital Islamabad, when one of its tires burst near the Balkassar Interchange on the Islamabad-Lahore Motorway (M2).
