In a tragic incident near the Shahdara area of Islamabad, a school teacher lost her life while 20 others, including students, sustained injuries after a school bus plunged into a ravine. The incident occurred during a school trip on Saturday, leaving the entire community in shock.

According to the local police, the bus driver had left the engine running while he stepped outside, and unfortunately, the vehicle started moving downhill uncontrollably, eventually landing in a ditch. The authorities confirmed the unfortunate demise of one teacher and reported multiple injured students. The injured children have been transported from Sheikhupura to Islamabad for immediate medical attention.

The ill-fated bus was carrying a total of 54 individuals, including 13 teachers and staff members, along with 22 boys and 19 girls. This incident has sent shockwaves through the community, as the loss of a young teacher, identified as 22-year-old Hania, has left everyone grieving.

After the accident, rescue teams swiftly reached the spot and worked diligently to shift the injured individuals to nearby hospitals. Thirteen of the injured students were taken to the Poly Clinic Hospital, while eight others were admitted to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences.

Eyewitnesses revealed that some passengers managed to exit the bus when it came to a stop, just before it tragically veered off the road. The driver, held responsible for the incident, was promptly arrested. The Inspector General of Police in Islamabad wasted no time in ordering the registration of a case in connection with the accident.

It is important to note that this is not the first road accident in Pakistan to cause significant loss of life and injuries. Just earlier this month, another tragic incident occurred on Karachi’s Sharea Faisal, resulting in the death of a woman and injuring eight others, including children. On November 10, a speeding bus lost control and collided with a family traveling on a motorcycle, as well as other pedestrians near the Colony Gate bus stop.

Similarly, in September, eight people lost their lives and two others were injured in a collision between a car and a truck on Motorway M-5 in Sadiqabad. The accident was attributed to overspeeding by the car, highlighting the need for stricter traffic regulations and enforcement.

As the nation mourns the loss of a young teacher and prays for the speedy recovery of the injured students, authorities must take immediate action to ensure road safety measures are strictly implemented. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible driving and the need for continuous efforts to prevent such accidents in the future..
