A bus carrying several wedding guests while speeding down a roadway plunged into a ravine in southeastern Pakistan on Thursday, killing at least seven people, according to rescuers and officials.

The crash occurred near Quetta, the capital of the Balochistan Province. Authorities did not immediately know what caused the crash, though an investigation was underway.

The Associated Press reported that Wasim Baig, a spokesperson for the health department, said the bodies of the victims and of 17 others who were injured in the crash were taken to an area hospital.

Some of the injured victims were reportedly in critical condition.

In a country where highways are poorly maintained, and traffic laws are ignored for the most part, crashes on the roadways are common in Pakistan.

Three bus crashes in August claimed the lives of 60 Pakistanis, combined.

Two of the bus crashes happened in Pakistan, with one occurring in Balochistan and the other in eastern Punjab province. Between the two crashes, 32 people were killed, the AP reported.

Both crashes, according to authorities, were caused by negligence of the drivers.
