by VOA News

   Two passenger buses filled with riders have collided head on in central
   Pakistan, killing at least 27 people and injuring scores of others. The
   death toll is expected to rise.

   The accident occurred Monday morning near Rahim Yar Khan in Punjab
   province.

   The cause of the accident is under investigation.

   Dead road accidents are common in Pakistan, generally due to poor road
   conditions and reckless driving.
