At least two people, including a woman, were killed and seven injured when the driver of a car lost control and struck several vehicles at Karachi’s Karsaz Road on Monday, police said.

The deceased were identified as Imran Arif and Amina. The driver lost control of an SUV, which then collided with motorcycles and other vehicles, rescue officials said.

The vehicle is said to be a relative of a prominent industrialist. The suspected female driver attempted to flee the scene but was surrounded by an angry crowd and subsequently handed over to the police.

Police confirmed that they have taken two female suspects into custody. Eyewitnesses reported that the speeding vehicle was running over motorcycles as it approached the area near Kangri House.
