The deceased include Khalid Hussain son of Naik Alam, Chaudhry Khursheed son of Mohammad Deen, Malik Sherbaz Awan son of Suba Khan and Abdul Rauf Rathore son of Mohammad Khan. 

The unfortunate vehicle was travelling from Forward Kahuta town of Haveli to Rawalpindi and the accident took place near Mahmood Gali.
