Around seventy passengers were onboard the bus that was en route to Faisalabad from Lahore.

Per details, the driver lost control of the bus while trying to overtake a van. Rescue officials and patrolling police teams arrived at the scene and shifted the injured to Sheikhupura District Headquarter Hospital (DHQ).
