The passenger bus, which was going to Lahore from Battagram, went over the edge and fell into a ravine while manoeuvring a dangerous turn some 6km from Mansehra, instantly killing three passengers.
A large number of residents of the valley reached the scene and began rescuing the injured as soon as the accident occurred.

So sad :(
Over-speeding and careless driving are the common cause of accidents in mountainous region of Hazara. However the authorities and transporters have not been able to fix the issue by training the drivers and development of infrastructure and roads.
