A jeep accident in Nuwakot has claimed the life of 35-year-old Sanjeev Kumar Chaudhary and left two others seriously injured, according to local police. The crash happened on Thursday evening at Gurjebhanjyang in Shivapuri Rural Municipality-6 along the Chhahare-Tokha road section.

Police Inspector Binod Dhakal said Chaudhary was rushed to Grande Hospital after the accident, but doctors pronounced him dead shortly afterward. The two injured passengers are currently undergoing treatment in Kathmandu.

The incident is the latest reminder of how dangerous steep and narrow rural roads can be in Nepal, where vehicle crashes continue to cause serious injuries and fatalities. While the exact cause of this crash has not been detailed in the available report, the location and road conditions suggest the kind of terrain that often makes recovery and rescue especially difficult.

Local authorities are expected to continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident, including whether speed, road conditions, or vehicle control played a role.

For residents and commuters in the area, the tragedy adds to growing concern over road safety on remote routes that connect rural communities to the Kathmandu valley.
