LAYYAH: Two men died after they were run over by a tractor trolley on Wednesday. The vehicle had gotten out of the driver’s control during an argument with a police warden. Police said that the tractor trolley’s driver, Mohsin Abbas, was stopped by a warden for violating a traffic rule. The driver was sent to the police station at Kalma Chowk along with another warden. On the way, Abbas turned the vehicle towards the opposite road in order to flee. When the warden pushed him back, it got out of control and ran over two pedestrians, killing them on the spot. The driver was arrested.
