A police mobile flipped over while trying to avoid buffaloes that had locked horns in the middle of the Umerkot-Mirpurkhas Highway.
Two policewomen and the suspect they were escorting, were injured in the incident. One of the buffaloes also died in the collision. The injured were transferred to Civil Hospital. According to the mobile driver, Ahmed, when they reached near Mumtaz Pulia on the Umerkot-Mirpurkhas Highway, two huge buffaloes came fighting on the road. He tried to save them by pulling over to the side of the road.
However, due to lack of space, the mobile hit one of the black giants and flipped over. The impact was so intense that the police pickup skidded off the road and fell into a ditch.
