A potentially tragic accident was narrowly avoided after a vehicle carrying popular TikTokers Usman Work 777 and Sultan Work 777 reportedly plunged into the Kunhar River near the tourist destination of Dham Dhamah, close to Naran.
According to local reports, the Vigo pickup lost control and fell into the river while the group was allegedly filming TikTok content. Five young men were inside the vehicle when the accident occurred, leaving them stranded in the fast-flowing river.
As soon as the incident was reported, the trained rafting rescue team from Zigzag Skyhawks Adventure Club launched an immediate rescue operation. Rescuers Rozi Khan, Afaq, Azhar Khan, Qaiser Khan, and Javed Khan reached the scene by rescue boat and successfully evacuated all five occupants from the river.
Fortunately, no fatalities were reported, and all individuals were rescued safely thanks to the swift response and professional efforts of the rescue team.

Eyewitnesses and local residents praised the rescuers for their bravery and quick action, saying that even a slight delay could have turned the incident into a major tragedy. Tourists present at the scene also commended the team’s dedication and courage in carrying out the difficult rescue operation.
Following the incident, authorities and local residents urged visitors to exercise extreme caution while traveling in the mountainous region. Tourists have been advised not to drive vehicles too close to the banks of the Kunhar River or enter dangerous areas for photography or social media content, as the river’s water level and current can change suddenly.
The incident serves as a reminder that creating social media content should never come at the expense of personal safety. Visitors are encouraged to follow safety guidelines, respect warning signs, and prioritize their own lives and the safety of those around them while enjoying Pakistan’s scenic tourist destinations.
Alhamdulillah, all five individuals were rescued safely, and no loss of life was reported.
