Two people were killed and three others injured after a jeep veered off the road in Achham district on Friday, according to the latest report. Local authorities and police quickly reached the scene to carry out rescue efforts and move the injured to a nearby medical facility for treatment.
Earlier reports on a similar Achham crash described a jeep skidding off the road and falling down a steep section near Mellek Rural Municipality, leaving multiple passengers dead and injured. In that incident, police said the vehicle was traveling from Safhebagar toward Mellek when it went out of control, underscoring how dangerous rural road conditions in the district can be.
Road accidents involving jeeps and other small public vehicles remain a recurring safety concern in Nepal’s hill districts, where narrow routes, sharp bends, and unstable terrain can make even routine travel hazardous. In this case, authorities have not yet released additional details on the cause of the crash or the identities of those affected.
The injured passengers are receiving treatment, while police continue to gather information from the accident site. More updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
