Pakistan — A Jeep skidded off a narrow mountain road and fell
into a ravine in a remote area of Abbottabad, killing 6 passengers and injuring
7 more including women and children.
The report further added that the vehicle was traveling from
Kaliyan Bazaar, Azad Kashmir when it was involved in a fatal accident near the
Liran hamlet of Abbottabad on Wednesday.
Local people rushed to the accident site no sooner they heard
about the accident and shifted the corpses and injured to the hospitals.
Muhammad Ashraf's wife, two daughters-in-law, and a little kid, Muhammad Aslam, and Umar Khattab were among those who died.
The injured were
sent to local hospitals, including the Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences in
Muzaffarabad, where they are still receiving medical treatment.
Pakistan Peoples Party officials and local council members
arrived at the hospital and are working with the authorities to give assistance
to the victims.
The weather was fine at the time of Jeep plummeted into a gully,
according to authorities, and police officers, while eyewitnesses said the Jeep
appeared to be traveling at high speed when it lost control and plunged into a
gorge.
The actual cause of the jeep collapse was unclear.
Fatal road accidents like this are common in KPK and Azad
Kashmir due to narrow roads and poorly maintained vehicles.
