Karachi: A grievous accident stemming from speeding has occurred on Shahra-e-Faisal, one of Karachi’s busiest arteries, where an out-of-control car struck and killed a pedestrian near Karsaz. The devastating impact resulted in the citizen dying at the scene.
Police confirmed the tragic incident and reported that the victim’s body has been transferred to Jinnah Hospital for mandatory legal procedures. Authorities also noted that a motorcyclist was injured in the same collision.
In a swift move, police took the car driver into custody and have registered a formal case against them for negligence. Intriguingly, the report mentions a past Karsaz accident case where the victims’ heirs reportedly forgave the accused “in the name of God.” This new fatality highlights the urgent need for local police and traffic authorities to strictly curb the growing trend of dangerous driving on city roads.
This incident poses a serious challenge to urban planning and traffic law enforcement, where the safety of pedestrians is frequently compromised. Residents are appealing to the government to take emergency measures to make the city’s thoroughfares significantly safer for all users.
