Hub bus-tanker crash

On 22 March 2014, a bus crashed into an oil tanker in Hub, Pakistan. Shortly after, another bus crashed into the first bus, and another tanker crashed into the first tanker. At least 35 people were killed and another 30 were wounded in the accident.
History
Both the buses and the oil tankers were traveling early in the morning. One bus departed from Quetta and the other departed from Turbat. The buses were both traveling to Karachi. A tanker became stuck in a pothole while driving causing a bus which was traveling behind the tanker to avoid the ditch. The bus crashed into another tanker that was traveling in the opposite direction. When the first tanker was crashed into, the bus caught on fire because it was transporting illegal diesel canisters and gasoline.
Thirty-five people died in the accident. Some of the people who were killed included children and mothers. Thirty other people were injured in the crash. The injured people were transported to hospitals in Hub and Karachi.
