Several people lost their lives and many others sustained injuries when a passenger bus fell into a deep ravine in the Dhana Sar area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Friday. The incident occurred in the mountainous terrain of Dhana Sar, a crucial mountain pass on the N-50 National Highway.
Deputy Commissioner of Sherani District, Hazrat Wali Kakar, confirmed the accident and stated that rescue teams from the Sherani district administration, along with ambulances, were promptly dispatched to the site to assist the victims. Efforts to recover passengers trapped in the ravine and provide medical aid to the injured are ongoing.
Dhana Sar is a significant transit point situated approximately 35 kilometers from Zhob and about 130 kilometers from Dera Ismail Khan. Nestled within the rugged Sulaiman Mountains, it serves as an essential transport link between Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces.
While the deputy commissioner verified that the crash resulted in multiple deaths and injuries, the exact number of casualties has not yet been confirmed. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the accident as rescue operations continue in the challenging mountainous area.
