The injured are being treated at Dadeldhura Hospital. Some passengers have escaped the accident by chance.
The jeep number Ma 1 Ja 224, which left Motinagar in Surnaya Rural Municipality on the Khodpe-Bajhang road section of the Jayaprithi Highway, was initially headed for Baitadi headquarters. After finding passengers heading to Dadeldhura on the way, the driver changed the destination of the jeep and picked up passengers from Dadeldhura. After that, the passengers who wanted to go to Baitadi headquarters were shifted to another jeep.
According to Himal Air, a passenger who survived the accident, he got off the jeep about 10 minutes before the accident. ‘I was going to Gothalapani, the headquarters of Baitadi, to collect a national identity card,’ he said. ‘We were shifted to another jeep after they were told to put the passengers from Dadeldhura. The jeep we were riding in was a little behind.’
According to him, the jeep that met with the accident was moving at a high speed ahead. ‘The jeep accident happened right in front of our eyes,’ said Air, ‘it was seen rolling and rolling uncontrollably and overturning.’ After his relatives were involved in the accident, he did not go to Baitadi but came to Dadeldhura Hospital with the injured.
