A quick-moving dumper struck and killed two children riding a motorcycle on the Karachi Super Highway on Wednesday.
According to information, the riders, 14-year-old Rajab and 15-year-old Raja Zahari, were involved in an accident close to Janjal Goth, which is close to the Karachi Super Highway.
Rescue teams and police arrived at the scene after receiving information and moved the bodies to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medical and legal formalities.
According to witnesses, the accident happened as a result of the fast-moving dumper driver’s negligence.
The car has been seized by the police and taken to the police station in the interim. The driver, though, was able to flee. According to the police, they were conducting raids to apprehend the driver.
Earlier in 2022, a man and his two daughters were crushed to death by a speedy dumper in Karachi.
The incident happened on Karachi’s Shahrah-e-Faisal — one of the busiest roads in the metropolis – where a speedy truck hit a motorcycle, killing three people on the spot.
The deceased girls were identified as Shuja (12), Batool (9). The bodies were moved to a nearby medical facility for postmortem.
The trailer driver managed to escape from the scene after crushing the motorcyclists. Furthermore, police have launched a search for the arrest of the driver.
