Road accidents in Murree region

Overview

A series of road accidents in the Murree area has resulted in multiple injuries and fatalities. In late September, a school van caught fire after veering off a road near Bara Hotar Link Road, injuring 12 people, including 10 children. Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz requested a report on the incident, citing concerns regarding “vehicle overloading and lack of adequate fire safety measures”.

In late October, a separate accident occurred near Baroha Chowk on Rakhala Road when a speeding vehicle plunged into a ravine and caught fire. This incident killed seven people, including three children, and injured seven others. The victims were reportedly members of a family returning from a wedding ceremony.
