Seven die in Nepal road crash
Seven people including an infant died after a jeep veered off a highway in Nepal’s Udayapur district on Thursday morning.
The police spokesperson Roshan Thapa said that they had already rescued nine people who are currently receiving treatment at different hospitals in Nepal.
The police said that they suspected overloading at the sloppy road which could have led to the fatal accident.
“The jeep was carrying 16 people and the road section was narrow with turns when the accident occurred.
“Traffic accidents generally leave hundreds of people dead every year in Nepal,’’ said the spokesperson.
