At least 22 people, including nine members of one family, were killed on Wednesday when a minibus fell into a ravine in southwest Pakistan.
The accident happened early morning in a remote area of Balochistan, around 200 kilometers north of the provincial capital, Quetta. Witnesses say the bus was speeding when the driver lost control.
The sole survivor is a child, who's reportedly in a critical condition.
