At least six persons, including two children and a woman, were killed and six others injured today in a road accident in Pakistan's restive Khyber Pakthunkhwa.
The accident took place at Chinaroona village in Dir Lower district when the driver lost control of his vehicle and it plunged into a deep gorge, police said.
All the injured were shifted to a hospital, police added.
Pakistan has one of the world's worst records for fatal road accidents resulting due to poor roads, badly maintained vehicles and reckless driving.
