Two men tragically lost their lives on Wednesday when their motorcycle was struck by a speeding dumper truck on the Srinagar Highway near Golra Morr, Islamabad, according to Bakhabar Pakistan. The incident occurred in the early hours of the day, when the motorcyclists, whose identities have not yet been revealed, were traveling along the highway.
The driver of the dumper truck, which was allegedly speeding, fled the scene immediately after the collision. The authorities were informed shortly after the crash, and a police team arrived to secure the area and begin their investigation. The victims were quickly transported to a local hospital, where their bodies were moved to the morgue for post-mortem examinations.
Local law enforcement acted promptly to file a case against the driver of the dumper, although the suspect remains at large. The police are now working on gathering evidence from the scene, including traffic camera footage and eyewitness accounts, in order to track down the fleeing driver. They are also questioning nearby residents and commuters who may have witnessed the incident. The authorities have urged anyone with information regarding the dumper truck or its driver to come forward.
Accidents involving speeding vehicles have been a growing concern in the area, and local residents are calling for more stringent traffic regulations and enforcement to prevent such tragedies. This fatal accident adds to the rising number of road incidents in Islamabad, prompting further debates on traffic safety measures and vehicle monitoring systems.
The police are continuing their investigation, and efforts are underway to locate the driver, who faces charges of reckless driving and fleeing the scene of an accident.
