On Thursday, three motorcyclists died in separate traffic accidents in Karachi. The first accident happened near Johar Mor when a fast cement mixer truck hit a motorcycle. The crash instantly killed 25-year-old Abdul Saboor. An angry mob then set the truck on fire, and police arrested the driver.
In another incident in Liaquatabad No 10, a dumper truck struck a motorcyclist, killing him. A third accident in Keamari involved a car hitting a bike, causing another motorcyclist’s death. These tragedies raise serious concerns about road safety in the city.
Earlier that day, over ten people were hurt when a passenger wagon collided with a dumper truck near the Saeedabad Police Training Centre on Hub River Road. After the crash, the dumper hit a wall, and the wagon overturned, trapping its driver inside.
Rescue teams took the injured to Civil Hospital. Among them were a 35-year-old mother, her 16-year-old daughter, and several others. These accidents show the urgent need for better road safety to protect people in Karachi.
