ISLAMABAD: One person was killed and over 20 female students were wounded after a bus of the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) rammed into a footpath on Wednesday.

The fatal incident happened near the G-11 signal on Kashmir Highway early morning due to overspeeding when the students were on their way to the university.

However, the reason of the accident remained unknown.
