A man was killed and two women were injured in a road accident on a bridge near Fine House, on Shahrah-e-Faisal, on Saturday night.
The incident took place when the deceased, Zeeshan, 32, was returning home with his nieces (brother's daughters), 15-year-old Mehak and 22-year-old Zainab, after attending a wedding event, on a motorcycle. They were on their way to Mujahid Colony from Dalmia when the motorcycle was hit by a speeding vehicle.
According to statements of the eyewitnesses given to the police, a speeding Honda Civic hit the motorcycle and dragged it for some distance. Following this, another Honda Civic, bearing registration number Z-4678, collided with the first one, dragging Zeeshan along the bridge's wall and crushing him to death, they said. Meanwhile, Mehak and Zainab were severely injured.
The drivers involved in the accident fled the scene and the deceased and the injured were shifted to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC).
Eyewitnesses informed the victims' family and police of the incident and described the appearance of the cars' drivers to the police.
According to police, Zeeshan's body was handed over to the heirs after the completion of medico-legal formalities while Mehak has been admitted to JPMC's intensive care unit and her condition is critical. Police will start the search for the drivers after receiving orders from the higher-ups, said Ferozabad Police Station duty officer.
