Sara Iqbal, 23, was traveling from the Nipa Bridge towards Drigh Road when her scooter slipped on the uneven street close to Sunny Pride Apartments on Rashid Minhas Road in Gulistan-i-Jauhar, according to Deputy Inspector General-Traffic (DIG) Ahmad Nawaz Cheema, who spoke with Dawn.com.
Cheema told Dawn.com, “A dump truck (TKM-214) coming from behind ran over her, and she died on the spot.”
He stated that the car was turned over to Sharea Faisal police for an inquiry after the driver left the site.
Rain caused potholes to form on Rashid Minhas Road and other roads throughout the city, Cheema continued.
The head of traffic police noted that “after rains, the dilapidated road infrastructure is not only hampering smooth flow traffic but also causing road accidents.”
