KARACHI -- Four people, including two teenagers, were killed while a young boy was injured when an apparently fast-moving car hit them on the Lyari Expressway near Mira Naka early on Friday morning, said rescue services, local police and Motorway police officials.

The victims were reportedly sitting in the open area of the expressway because the electricity in the locality had gone.

The fast-moving vehicle went out of control of its driver and hit five people sitting there and then fell down from the bridge as it broke the road fence. However, miraculously, the driver and another person travelling in the car remained unhurt in the accident. The driver was taken into custody by the Shershah police. The police said that there were two versions of the incident.

Witnesses told the police that the driver was allegedly driving the car rashly and ran over the persons sitting on one side of the expressway.

However, the driver in his statement before the police claimed that all of a sudden, one person came in front of his vehicle. He tried to save him and hit the fence, where the people were sitting.

The five wounded persons were taken to the Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi, where doctors pronounced four of them dead on arrival, said police surgeon Dr Qarar Ahmed Abbasi.

The deceased were identified as Aamir Rahman, 30; Asif Rafique, 20; Adeel Mohammad Azam, 19; and Mohammad Ahmed...
