Police official Aslam Bokhari says the incident happened today in the southwestern city of Quetta. He says the truck was about to unload its cargo of sand when the accident took place.
Bokhari says the shack belonged to an Afghan refugee, Sher Mohammad. He was not killed but his four children were, along with two women and a man. Quetta has several illegal Afghan refugee settlements built on its outskirts, mainly made up of makeshift mud houses.
