CHAKWAL: A passenger bus traveling from Rawalpindi to Multan fell into a 100-foot deep gorge near Dhok Pathan in the Talagang area due to dense fog, resulting in the deaths of five people and leaving 16 others seriously injured.
According to Rescue 1122, the bus was traveling via the GT Road because the motorway and CPEC routes were closed due to heavy fog. The accident occurred in a hilly area near Dhok Pathan.
