Three women, including a mother-daughter and cousin, were killed while a young man was injured when a speeding car overturned after hitting the footpath near Star Gate on Sharae Faisal early Sunday morning.
According to police, the car (registration number BGQ-469) was heading from Drigh Road towards Malir when the driver reportedly lost control, causing the vehicle to crash into the pavement and overturn onto the opposite lane. Rescue teams shifted the injured to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, where two women later succumbed to their injuries.
The deceased were identified as 50-year-old Asma, her 19-year-old daughter Muntaha, and 22-year-old cousin Faryal Shayan - all residents of the Liaquat Market area in Malir. The injured, identified as Owais, is under treatment.
Police said the car was completely wrecked in the crash, which is believed to have been caused by overspeeding. The bodies were handed over to the families after legal formalities, and an investigation into the incident is underway.
