A traffic police official was crushed to death between two trailer trucks near the Northern Bypass in Gulbai on Friday. According to SITE B-Section SHO Zawar Hussain, Masood, was on duty near the Gulbai flyover when the driver of a truck moving down the ramp lost control of the vehicle as its brakes failed. As a result, the vehicle hit Masood, thrusting him towards another truck and rammed into the latter. Crushed between the two vehicles, Masood died on the spot. The SHO said both the truck drivers, Haji Khalil and Danish, had been arrested and their vehicles impounded.
