KARACHI:

A young man was killed and two others were injured after being run over by a water tanker at Korangi Crossing on Saturday.

Police rushed to the scene and shifted the body of the deceased to Jinnah Hospital where the deceased was identified as 22-year-old Ali Raza, son of Rehmat Ali. The injured were identified as 23-year-old Shamshad and 20-year-old Shayan.

Preliminary investigations suggest the motorcyclists first collided with a jeep. As a result of the impact, they lost control and fell onto the opposite carriageway, where they were struck by an oncoming water tanker.

The tanker driver reportedly fled the scene after the accident. The police seized the water tanker. The jeep involved in the incident, along with its driver, was also taken into custody.

Underage motorcyclists

The CCTV footage of a tragic motorcycle accident involving underage boys in Korangi has surfaced, showing the circumstances that led to the fatal crash on the second day of Eidul Azha.

The footage shows three boys riding a motorcycle. While speeding, the rider appeared to be driving hands-free and lost control of the vehicle, causing it to first hit the footpath and then crash into a tree. One of the boys, Sajid, succumbed to his injuries, while his brother Wajid and cousin Olaid were critically injured.

According to officials, the deceased and injured boys were between 11 and 14 years of age. A teenage boy riding a motorcycle died in a traffic accident near Malir Cantt. The deceased was identified as 13-year-old Sylvester, son of Elon.

The accident reportedly occurred when the boy, while performing one-wheeling on a motorcycle, lost control and rammed into a tree.
