At least 17 people were killed and 24 others injured when a passenger bus fell into the Trishuli River in Nepal’s Dhading district on Sunday. The bus was traveling from Pokhara to the capital, Kathmandu, when it lost control and plunged into the river. According to police, a large number of security personnel joined the rescue operation at the site. The injured passengers were taken to nearby hospitals, and authorities are working to identify the deceased. The cause of the accident remains unclear.
Road accidents are frequent in Nepal, a mountainous country where weak infrastructure, old vehicles, and challenging terrain contribute to recurring transportation disasters. The incident highlights ongoing safety concerns on Nepal’s intercity routes, particularly those connecting major cities through hilly regions.
Authorities have not yet determined the specific reason for the crash, and investigations are underway to establish the cause and confirm the identities of the victims.
