A PIA ATR 42-500 on scheduled Islamabad to Lahore flight touched down on a wet runway in marginal weather, and its right main landing gear collapsed. The aircraft slid off the runway and came to rest on the grass beyond it. All 46 occupants escaped unhurt, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
