A tragic road accident claimed several lives and turned a joyful wedding event into sorrow. According to rescue officials, the incident occurred when a groom was returning from a salon. He was accompanied by his friends after completing wedding preparations. During the journey, their vehicle was involved in a car-truck collision, leading to immediate loss of life.
Rescue sources said the impact was severe. The groom and his friends did not survive the crash. The sudden car-truck collision shocked the local community and left families devastated. What was meant to be a happy occasion ended in deep mourning.
Police and rescue teams reached the site without delay. They secured the area and began emergency operations. The bodies of the deceased and one injured person were moved to a nearby hospital. Doctors later confirmed multiple fatalities.
The victims were identified as Nauman, Mansoor, Sohail, and Zarab. All were close friends of the groom. When news of the groom’s death reached his home, scenes of intense grief were witnessed. Wedding decorations remained untouched as relatives and neighbors gathered to offer condolences.
Police cordoned off the road following the car-truck collision. Officers collected physical evidence from the scene. They also recorded initial statements from witnesses. An investigation has been launched to determine the exact cause of the crash. Authorities are examining whether speed, road conditions, or negligence played a role.
This tragedy follows another fatal incident reported last month in Jamrud. In that case, a groom lost his life due to celebratory aerial firing at a wedding ceremony. According to police and local sources, the groom was identified as Asad Afghani. He was hit in the chest by a bullet fired during the celebration.
Asad died on the spot. Another man, Irfan, was injured and taken to a hospital for treatment. Police responded quickly after receiving the report. The accused, identified as Ismatullah, was arrested within hours. A First Information Report was registered, and evidence was collected from the site. Investigations are ongoing.
Authorities have once again warned the public against unsafe practices. They stressed that reckless behavior, whether on roads or at celebrations, can cost innocent lives. Officials urged citizens to follow safety rules to prevent further tragedies.
