The concrete cover of a sewage tank collapsed during a funeral Tuesday in northwestern Pakistan, causing 14 people to plunge to their death, police said.
The dead included a mix of women and children who were among dozens of people packed into the courtyard of the house in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province's Buner district, local police investigator Israr Khan said Wednesday.
At least two dozen other people were injured in the accident, which occurred in Jhor village, he said.
