The accident occurred Sunday afternoon around 4:00 p.m. The person injured is the airstair driver, who was stabbed in the abdomen with a flying shard from the helicopter’s rotor blade after it hit the airstair.
According to the Managing Director of ADK Hospital, Ahmed Afaal, the injured person is currently being treated in the Intensive Care Unit and his condition remains critical.
