Heavy traffic in Karachi continues to claim valuable lives as a man along with his minor son died in a devastating road accident that occurred on Korangi Jam Sadiq Bridge in the city.
According to police, a motorcycle collided with a stationary trailer on the bridge, causing the deaths of a father and son, identified as 49-year-old Rizwan and Rohan, 3.
The mother, who was also on the motorcycle, was injured in the accident.
According to preliminary investigations, the motorcycle riders were unable to see the trailer due to the darkness and the lack of streetlights on the bridge. The trailer had broken down on the bridge and the driver had left it unattended after locking it.
The bodies were shifted to the hospital for legal proceedings, the police said.
Meanwhile, in an effort to improve road safety and reduce traffic congestion, IG Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon announced that vehicles and motorcycles driven without a valid licence will be seized in Karachi.
Exclusively talking to ARY News, IG Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon termed untrained driving, a major cause of traffic jams in Karachi and strict measures are being implemented to address the issue.
