According to rescue sources, the accident took place on the National Highway. 

Last month, 10 of a family were killed and four others injured after a jeep plunged into a ravine in Mansehra's tehsil Balakot. The ill-fated vehicle met with the accident near Bela Sacha after the driver lost control of the jeep while negotiating a curve, according to local police.

The family was travelling back home after attending an engagement ceremony in Sharan.

Earlier this year, on January 15, four people, including three women and a child, were killed after a car fell into a ditch in Upper Dir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. According to the police, the accident occurred due to speeding.
