A tourist van plunged into a ravine in Pakistan's northern Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) region last Friday (July 28), killing eight people while injuring at least nine others, rescue and government officials said.

The accident took place near the Babusar Pass area in the Diamer district of the GB region when the van tumbled off the road after colliding with a car, Shaukat Riaz, district coordinator of the state-run rescue organization Rescue 1122, told Xinhua.

The van was on its way to Gilgit city of the GB region from Sahiwal district of the South Asian country's east Punjab province when the accident happened, the official added.

Following the accident, rescue teams and local volunteers reached the site to do search and rescue work, and shifted the injured to a nearby hospital, police said.
