A fatal traffic accident occurred near Ibrahim Haidri Crossing in the Korangi area of Karachi when a speeding dumper truck struck motorcyclists.

Rescue sources report that three individuals died at the scene, and their bodies have been taken to Jinnah Hospital.

In the aftermath of the incident, angry citizens set the dumper ablaze. Police quickly arrived to manage the situation and have launched an investigation into the matter.

Notably, just two days prior, an emergency meeting led by Mukesh Kumar Chawla, Secretary of Excise, Taxation, and Narcotics Control, resulted in a decision to confiscate all illegal and unregistered dumpers operating in the city.
