The vehicles were consumed by flames when a gas cylinder fitted in one of the vehicles exploded in the accident in Narang Mandi city, north of Lahore. "Those killed included seven members of one family," police spokesman Manzoor Hussain told AFP. A police report seen by AFP said the van was carrying members of a wedding party. It blamed the bus driver for speeding, while a rescue official said fog was also a reason for the crash. Pakistan has an appalling record of fatal traffic accidents due to poor roads, badly maintained vehicles and reckless driving.
