A recent deadly collision between an SUV and a car on the Indus Highway has resulted in the loss of five lives, including Zain Turabi, the son of Allama Turabi.
On Friday, a head-on collision between an SUV and a car occurred on the Indus Highway near Manjhand in Jamshoro district.
Witnesses reported that the fatal collision occurred because one of the vehicles was travelling in the wrong direction. The impact was so intense that the car was reduced to a twisted heap of metal, while the SUV’s front end sustained severe damage.
The deceased have been identified as Zain Turabi, 22, Syed Ali Jan Rizvi, 30, Khuwaja Ali Kazim, 15, Khowaja Nadeem, 25, from Gilgit Baltistan, and the 35-year-old driver Abdul Ghani Mangrio.
As reported, the victims were returning to Karachi after attending a religious function in Khairpur.
Meanwhile, the other vehicle involved in the collision was carrying devotees from Lahore to the shrine of Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan.
The six people on board the vehicle were injured. They have been identified as Bilal Niazi, Ahsan Niazi, Majir Niazi, Muhammad Ishaq Niazi, Aziz Bhatti, and Muhammad Shabbir.
Two of the injured were critically wounded and transported to Liaquat University Hospital in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, Ali Muhammad Shakir of the Shia Ulema Council arranged for the bodies to be taken to Karachi.
Rescue 1122 teams from Hyderabad, along with a district police team, rushed to the scene. However, due to the long distance and the lack of trauma centres along the highway, they arrived too late to save any lives.
