Silwal said that one injured passenger, who was taken to the Sindhuli Hospital, died while undergoing treatment.

According to the report, the critically injured survivor was also rushed to the Dhulikhel Hospital for further treatment.

The bodies of the deceased could not be retrieved from the accident site, given the inaccessible geographical area.

"It takes over an hour to reach the accident site. So, there is trouble in taking out the bodies," Silwal was quoted as saying in the report.

He added that the Nepal Army's support had been sought to retrieve the bodies, and the team was heading to the site. PTI SBP/GRS
