4 of a family crushed to death under truck’s container


Karachi: A couple and their two children were killed when their car was crushed under a truck carrying a container at ICI Bridge.

A speedy truck bearing registration number JT-5369 first hit a roadside pole at ICI Bridge and then overturned, crushing a car bearing registration number AFT-360.

The car was completely destroyed due to the immense weight of the container on the truck.

The occupants of the car, 45-year-old Adam Khan Laghari, his wife Dr Asma and their two sons 14-year-old Muhammad Ahmed and 12-year-old Muhammad Faraz died on the spot.

People gathered on the spot were unable to lift the heavy container and a crane and other machines were used for this purpose.

The bodies were shifted to the Civil Hospital Karachi. The driver of the truck Shakoor s/o Hussain Shah, fled from the scene but later handed himself over to the police, which registered an FIR no 528/2009. The family resided in the Boat Basin areas and originally hailed from Hyderabad. Dr Asma used to work as Keamari Town Health Office.

Following the incident, the Keamari, Docks and Jackson police stations had a dispute over which police station’s jurisdiction did the incident take place in. However, on the intervention of superior police officials, the Jackson police registered a case against the driver. Senior Supervisory Officer Keamari DSP Javaid Iqbal Bhatti regretted that the registration of the FIR was delayed over the jurisdiction issue.

Eyewitnesses said there was no traffic policeman in sight where the incident took place, and the police arrived at the spot more than half an hour after the accident.

SSP Traffic Waqar Mallah suspended SO Kawaj Muhammad, ASI Muhammad Raza and Head Constable Muhammad Ramzan after demoting them and also suspended three constables Ashiq Ali, Ansar and Inayat over negligence.

An eyewitness at the spot said that the lady victim was still alive when the crane lifted the container and she could have been saved if timely efforts were made. staff report

This happens all too often in Karachi. How many people will have to die before the govt decides to do anything? I wish I could personally go and slap all those responsible, shame on you, busy filling your already bulging pockets while our people die due to issues like these. Absolutely shameful. RIP brothers.
