Rajouri/Jammu, July 5

Four people died and eight sustained critical injuries when their vehicle skidded off a road and rolled down a deep gorge in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district in the early hours of Wednesday, officials said.

The accident took place in the Thanamandi subdivision when the victims were on their way to Bhangai village from Poonch, where they had gone to attend a funeral, they said.

The officials said the driver of the car lost control over it on the Thanamandi Bhangai road hardly a few hundred metres from its destination.

“Twelve passengers in total were travelling in the vehicle at the time of the accident. All were rescued by locals and police and taken to the sub-district hospital in Thanamandi where four of them were declared brought dead,” a police official said.
