Emergency services were called to the scene and managed to rescue the injured individuals. One person was pronounced dead at the site, while the others were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, which is believed to have been due to the vehicle’s high speed and the challenging road conditions.
