A catastrophic road accident has claimed multiple lives and left dozens injured after a major collision on a mountain highway. The crash occurred early Monday morning in a forested stretch of roadway, where at least one passenger bus and several smaller vehicles were involved in a fiery collision.
Emergency responders rushed to the scene, with fire trucks, ambulances, and rescue personnel working tirelessly to control the blaze and search for survivors among the wreckage. The force of the impact scattered debris, personal belongings, and vehicle parts across the highway, leaving a devastating trail of destruction.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud explosion followed by thick smoke rising above the trees. Initial accounts suggest that poor weather conditions and slippery roads may have contributed to the crash, though investigators are still working to determine the exact cause.
Authorities have temporarily closed the highway in both directions, redirecting traffic as recovery operations continue. Rescue teams in protective gear were seen combing through the debris for victims, while buses were deployed to transport survivors to nearby hospitals.
Officials have not yet released an official death toll but confirmed that the number of casualties is “significant.”
The accident has sparked renewed concerns over road safety in mountainous regions, where heavy vehicles, sharp curves, and adverse weather create particularly hazardous conditions.
