On Friday, a passenger bus on the Karakoram Highway near the Guner farms fell off the road, killing at least 20 passengers and injuring another 21.

At the time of the disaster, the bus, owned and operated by Markopolo, was transporting over forty people.


After starting a rescue effort, Rescue 1122 and other emergency response teams took the injured people to Chillas Hospital so they could receive emergency medical attention. According to rescue sources, since most of the injured were in serious condition, the number of fatalities could increase.

The hospital declared an emergency and issued a desperate need for blood donations to help the injured.

The government spokesperson for Gilgit-Baltistan reports that the bus accident rescue effort has been effectively completed.
