The vehicle subsequently collided with roadside obstacles, resulting in the fatal crash.

Emergency responders arrived at the scene and provided immediate assistance to those injured in the accident. The three injured individuals were transported to a nearby medical facility for treatment of their injuries. Details regarding the severity of their conditions were not immediately disclosed.

Investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing.
