The vehicle, carrying seven young men, veered off the road after the tyre burst, breaking through the guardrail and tumbling down.
The three critically injured passengers, 22-year-old Abdul Ahad, 18-year-old Ramadan, and 20-year-old Ali, were swiftly transported to the Civil Trauma Center by Chhipa Ambulance. All victims were residents of Gulshan-e-Maymar.
Sub-Inspector Mohammad Zaman of Shershah police station confirmed that seven young men occupied the jeep at the time of the accident. Besides the serious injuries, three others suffered minor cuts. The group was heading home when the critical tyre failure near the toll plaza led to the catastrophic loss of control.
