According to media reports, the incident occurred near Vita Chowrangi, where the water tanker collided with the motorcycle, killing the rider on the spot.
The deceased has been identified as 50-year-old Muhammad Hashim. His body was initially shifted to Jinnah Hospital and later transferred to the Chhipa morgue.
Rescue officials stated that the accident took place early in the morning, and efforts are underway to contact the victim’s family.
