Water tanker kills two citizens in North Nazimabad

The lives of two young men were cut short in a road crash near the Board Office in North Nazimabad late on Tuesday night.

The tragic incident occurred near Abdullah College, where a water tanker hit a motorcycle, killing two friends instantly. Eyewitnesses reported that the tanker was being driven recklessly at the time of the crash.

Police and rescue teams arrived at the scene and transported the bodies to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital. The victims were identified as 20-year-old Zubair and 18-year-old Ayaan, both originally from Data Nagar, Orangi Town. Ayaan had recently moved to Altaf Nagar but remained a close childhood friend of Zubair.

Police said that the cop had been dispatched to inspect a checkpoint when the accident occurred. The body was later sent to his hometown in Dadu for burial. A case has been registered while an investigation is underway.
