Three people were killed and several others sustained injuries in a road accident involving a passenger van and a tractor-trolley in Dera Ghazi Khan. The collision occurred on the Indus Highway, a major transit route in the region, according to local authorities.

### Collision on the Indus Highway
The incident took place when a passenger van, traveling at speed, struck a tractor-trolley from behind. Emergency response teams arrived at the scene shortly after the collision to initiate rescue operations. According to initial reports from local officials, the force of the impact resulted in the immediate death of three individuals, while multiple passengers trapped inside the wreckage required extrication.

### Emergency Response and Hospitalization
Rescue 1122 personnel transported the injured survivors to the Teaching Hospital in Dera Ghazi Khan for urgent medical treatment. Hospital staff categorized several of the arrivals as being in critical condition, citing multiple trauma injuries sustained during the crash. Local law enforcement officials have secured the site of the accident to facilitate the removal of the damaged vehicles and to clear debris from the roadway.

### Ongoing Investigation
Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision, focusing on potential factors such as driver fatigue and visibility conditions on the Indus Highway at the time of the incident. Authorities have not yet released the names of the deceased, pending notification of their next of kin. The investigation remains open, and the local administration has scheduled a review of traffic safety measures along that specific stretch of the highway.
