Thousands of cars were stranded in a snowstorm on a mountain road in Punjab, central Pakistan, and many were trapped inside.


According to local police, 22 people have died so far, including the accumulation of snow that blocked the exhaust vents and filled the car with exhaust gas, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning.



The site is about 70 kilometers east of the capital Islamabad and is known as a nearby tourist destination where urban people can enjoy nature.


At that time, it was snowing heavily and the meteorological authorities were calling attention, but police said that the cars of people who visited to see the snowy landscape were congested.



The Pakistani government has dispatched troops to the scene and is rushing to rescue and remove snow from more than 1,000 cars that are buried in the snow and cannot move.
