JAMMU, July 30, 2026 – At least nine passengers, including five women, sustained injuries on Wednesday morning when the minibus they were traveling in overturned near the Muthi Dream City area on the outskirts of Jammu.
The incident occurred along the Jammu-Akhnoor National Highway amidst heavy rainfall. According to eyewitnesses, the minibus, traveling from Domana toward Jammu, lost control on the slippery road and flipped over, triggering panic among the occupants. Some passengers alleged that the driver was speeding despite the wet road conditions, leading to the loss of balance.
Following the accident, local residents rushed to the scene and initiated a rescue operation, quickly alerting the authorities. A team from the Domana Police Station arrived promptly to assist. The injured were transported via ambulances and civilian vehicles to the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Jammu.

Police cleared the overturned minibus using a crane, restoring normal traffic flow on the busy highway after temporary disruptions. The police have registered a case and launched an investigation to ascertain whether rash driving, the slippery road conditions, or a combination of both led to the accident.
