KHYBER: At least five people were killed after a car collided with a truck near Bab-e-Khyber, rescue officials said on Sunday.

The accident occurred on the main road in the Khyber district when the car, reportedly travelling at high speed, crashed into the truck coming from the opposite direction. The impact was so severe that the car was badly damaged, leaving five people dead, the Rescue officials said.

Rescue teams rushed to the scene soon after receiving information about the crash. All five injured passed away on the spot due to serious injuries. Their bodies were later shifted to a nearby hospital for medico-legal formalities, said the officials.

According to rescue officials, overspeeding appeared to be the cause of the accident. 

The mishap took place three days after a Chakwal district accident that claimed the lives of five bus passengers. 

Accident took place in the Dhok Pathan area of Chakwal district where a passenger bus plunged into a ravine on Wednesday.

Accidents are not uncommon in Pakistan and occur frequently due to various reasons, including driver negligence, road conditions and weather intensity, etc.

In a similar accident that occurred in December 2025, at least 11 people were killed after a bus overturned on the M-14 Motorway near Fateh Jang.

The victims hailed from Bahawalpur, Vehari, Sharaqpur and Islamabad, added the rescue officials. 

Bob Weir, a founding member of the legendary rock band the Grateful Dead, has died at the age of 78, his family announced Saturday. 

“It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir,” his family wrote in a post to his Instagram page. “He transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after courageously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately, he succumbed to underlying lung issues.”

In the statement, the family disclosed that Weir had been diagnosed with cancer in July.

“As we remember Bobby, it’s hard not to feel the echo of the way he lived,” his family wrote. “A man driftin’ and dreamin’, never worrying if the road would lead him home. A child of countless trees. A child of boundless seas.”

Weir formed the Grateful Dead with Jerry Garcia after the two met in 1963 as teens in Palo Alto, California. The band, with its unique mix of blues, folk and jazz, became a touring powerhouse for decades until Garcia’s death in 1995. 

Weir wrote or co-wrote and sang lead vocals on Dead classics including “Sugar Magnolia,” “One More Saturday Night” and “Mexicali Blues.”  

The group eventually reformed a few years after Garcia’s death and took many iterations over the years, the latest as Dead & Company.  

“For over sixty years, Bobby took to the road,” his family’s statement said. “A guitarist, vocalist, storyteller, and founding member of the Grateful Dead. Bobby will forever be a guiding force whose unique artistry reshaped American music. His work did more than fill rooms with music; it was warm sunlight that filled the soul, building a community, a language, and a feeling of family that generations of fans carry with them.”

Weir’s death leaves drummer Bill Kreutzmann as the only surviving original member. Founding bassist Phil Lesh died in 2024.

Dead and Company played a series of concert’s for the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary in July at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

Born in San Francisco and raised in nearby Atherton, Weir was the Dead’s youngest member and looked like a fresh-faced high-schooler in its early years. He was generally less shaggy than the rest of the band, but had a long beard like Garcia’s in later years.

The band would survive long past the hippie moment of its birth, with its fans known as Deadheads often following them on the road in a virtually non-stop tour.

“Longevity was never a major concern of ours,” Weir said when the Dead got the Grammys’ Musicares Person of the Year honor last year. “Spreading joy through the music was all we ever really had in mind and we got plenty of that done.”

Lizzo welcomed 2026 with a fresh look and a warm moment that instantly caught fans attention.

The singer showed her hair transformation step by step on social media, letting people see the change as it happened.

At first, Lizzo appeared relaxed and makeup free, running her fingers through her long dark locs.

Soon after, the Pink singer shared the big reveal, as her hair is now shorter, curly and honey blonde.

The change, however, felt bold but also joyful and throughout the video, Lizzo held a small puppy close to her chest, which added a soft and emotional touch to the moment.

In the TikTok posted on January 9, the About Damn Time singer wrote, “2026 is the year of cutting it off, ladies.”

The message felt playful and confident, like she was turning a new page.

Moreover, fans quickly filled the comments with love for the look, though many were shocked to realise she had locs at all.

Some admitted they missed that chapter of her style journey completely.

The puppy quickly became a fan favorite too, with many joking about how perfectly it matched the moment.

The dog appeared to be a new companion for Lizzo, following the loss of her longtime pet Pooka in late 2023.
