Two passenger trains have collided in southern Pakistan, killing at least
30 people and injuring dozens more.
Officials said that one train travelling in the Sindh province had derailed
and landed on another track. A second train packed with passengers then
collided with it and overturned.

Rescue teams took the injured to nearby hospitals and it is thought that
several are in a critical condition.
Pakistan has over the past years seen a string of deadly train accidents.

A senior official in the Ghotki district was quoted as saying that eight
carriages were destroyed and that conditions were making it hard to rescue
trapped passengers.
