ISLAMABAD: A devastating road accident occurred on Rashid Minhas Road in Karachi on Thursday when a speeding dumper truck overturned onto a 4×4 vehicle, killing a woman and a five-year-old girl instantly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vehicle, driven by Khurram Karim, was carrying six family members on their way from Scheme-33 towards Sharea Faisal to receive a relative returning from Haj in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Tragically, the truck laden with gravel fell onto their car near the COD gate, crushing it under the heavy load.<\/p>\n

Emergency responders had to use heavy machinery to remove the dumper truck and the gravel to free the trapped passengers.<\/p>\n

However, his daughter Ayesha, aged five, and his sister-in-law Shaheena Mohammed Naeem were killed on the spot.<\/p>\n

Another minor girl, Anam, aged three, was seriously injured and rushed to Liaquat National Hospital after initial treatment at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre.<\/p>\n
