The incident took place as the bus was travelling from Solan to Haripur Dhar. The driver reportedly lost control on a hilly section of the route, causing the vehicle to overturn and plunge into the gorge.
Authorities stated that the bus was carrying passengers well beyond its seating capacity of 39 at the time of the accident. The vehicle fell approximately 500 feet into the gorge, suffering severe damage.
The force of the crash resulted in multiple immediate fatalities, while many passengers sustained serious injuries. Rescue teams were dispatched promptly to the site to assist survivors and recover the deceased.
