Islamabad, Pakistan – In a harrowing series of incidents, at least eight people lost their lives and over 20 others sustained injuries in two separate road accidents across the country. The unfortunate events, which occurred on Sunday, highlight the dangers of driving under adverse weather conditions. According to local police reports, the first incident took place on the National Highway in Thatta district of Sindh province, where a collision involving six cars resulted in the deaths of six individuals and left 12 others injured. The accident was attributed to heavy fog and smog that severely reduced visibility in the area. In a separate yet equally tragic event, a passenger bus traveling from Multan in Punjab to Rawalpindi collided with a stationary trailer in Bhakkar district, also due to poor visibility caused by smog.
This accident claimed the lives of two people and resulted in 10 injuries. In the wake of these accidents, motorway police have issued a stern warning to the public, urging individuals to limit unnecessary travel and exercise caution while driving. They emphasized the importance of adhering to safety measures, particularly in the face of challenging weather conditions that can lead to dangerous driving environments. As investigations into the accidents continue, the families of the victims are left to grapple with the devastating loss. Authorities are calling for heightened awareness and responsibility among drivers to prevent further tragedies on the roads of Pakistan.
