The deceased also included three members of a family from Rawalpindi. One of the passengers told ChitralToday that the accident occurred due to the fault of the driver of a truck coming from the opposition direction (from Chitral side). He said the ill-fated vehicle and another coaster following it flushed the truck driver to give way as the coasters were carrying passengers but the truck did not stop and proceeded towards the coasters downward near a bend called Asmani Mor. As a result, the two coasters had to move back for about 20 metres. When the helper of the coaster was signaling his driver to cross the truck, it slipped off the narrow road and fell into the 46-foot-deep ravine. The coaster was carrying 24 passengers when it left Rawalpindi on Saturday evening.
