Jammu, Sep 19: Four Border Security Force (BSF) troopers were injured on Saturday when the vehicle they were travelling in overturned on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway in Ramban district.
Officials said four personnel of the BSF were injured after their vehicle overturned on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway at Seri in Ramban district.
“The accident occurred when the vehicle was travelling from Srinagar towards Jammu and the driver lost control on the wheel after which the vehicle overturned on the road near Seri.”
Four injured personnel were shifted to hospital for medical treatment, officials added.
“Investigation has been initiated and the circumstances leading to the accident are being verified,” officials said.
Road accidents in Jammu and Kashmir are primarily driven by a combination of human error, challenging mountainous terrain, and deteriorating road infrastructure.
Driving above safe speed limits and aggressive overtaking — especially on blind curves — are major contributors to collisions.
Frequent use of mobile phones while driving or riding significantly impairs reaction times.
