Dhading, Nepal - At least 12 passengers were injured after a microbus traveling from Kathmandu to Pokhara overturned near Adamghat along the Prithvi Highway in Dhading on Sunday.
According to preliminary information, the microbus (Ba-Pradesh-01-006-Kha-7221) lost control and overturned on the roadway, causing injuries to multiple passengers. The injured were promptly rescued and taken to nearby health facilities for treatment. Authorities have not yet confirmed the severity of all injuries, but initial reports suggest that most victims are in stable condition.
The Prithvi Highway, one of Nepal’s busiest road corridors connecting Kathmandu to Pokhara and other western regions, has frequently witnessed accidents due to factors such as narrow stretches, sharp turns, and increasing traffic pressure.
Local police and rescue teams responded quickly to the incident, ensuring timely evacuation of the injured and clearing of the road to resume traffic flow. An investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the accident, including whether mechanical failure, driver error, or road conditions contributed to the incident.
This latest accident once again highlights ongoing concerns over road safety management, vehicle standards, and the need for stricter enforcement of traffic regulations along Nepal’s major highways.
