A family’s Eid celebration ended in heartbreak when their Suzuki van plunged into a deep ditch in the Orakzai district, killing three and injuring four others, local officials confirmed on Monday.
According to Orakzai police, the accident claimed the lives of one girl and two women, while two women and two children sustained serious injuries. The victims were en route from Kohat to Lower Orakzai for an Eid picnic when tragedy struck.
Deputy Commissioner Irfanuddin stated that the driver had parked the van on a hilltop, from where it slid and fell into the ditch on its own. The impact was severe, prompting an immediate emergency response.
The injured were quickly shifted to Kohat Hospital for urgent medical treatment. Authorities say the family had been eagerly anticipating a joyful Eid outing, but instead faced unimaginable loss.
