A tragic traffic accident in Karachi claimed the lives of an industrialist and his son on Monday, when a trailer struck their car, causing it to fall off the ICI Bridge after colliding with a rickshaw and a motorcycle.
According to DIG-South Syed Asad Raza, the incident occurred while 64-year-old Ashraf Adamani and his two sons, Naveed and Usman, were en route to their industry in the SITE area from their home in DHA. A recklessly driven trailer (SMA-129) crashed into their vehicle from behind on the ICI Bridge.
The impact caused their car to spin out of control, hitting a rickshaw and a motorcycle before plummeting off the bridge. Unfortunately, Ashraf and Naveed died on the spot, while Usman sustained serious injuries.
