A passenger van crashes on a mountain road in Nepal, with reports saying at least 10 people die and five others are injured. Multiple outlets describe the vehicle veering off the road and plunging down a steep slope in Makawanpur district, Bagmati province.
Outlets agree the vehicle is travelling from Kathmandu toward Sarlahi, and that around 15 people are on board. Coverage also notes a rescue response, with a team sent to the site and injured passengers taken to hospital care, though details of timing and distances vary by report.
Some outlets focus on the basic casualty toll and the crash location, while others add specifics such as the reported time of the accident and the approximate distance the vehicle falls. The Kathmandu Post specifies the vehicle is electric and gives a different estimate of the drop, and it also states three additional people are seriously injured, beyond the five reported by some other accounts.
