The Karachi police said on Tuesday that they have named a woman driver in the Karsaz road accident, which killed at least two people and wounded five others.
The first information report invoked sections 320 (punishment for qatl-i-khata by rash or negligent driving), 337-G (punishment for hurt by rash or negligent driving), 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way) and 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees) of the Pakistan Penal Code.
The complaint was registered at the Bahadurabad Police Station on the complaint of Imtiaz Arif, whose brother and niece died in the accident.
“Abdussalam, son of Mohammad Ishaq, who was riding on the motorcycle was also injured,” the FIR stated and added that his brother Imran Arif and his daughter Amna Arif got several injuries and passed away later.
The complainant stated that he found out that Natasha Danish, who was driving an SUV, had hit his brother’s motorcycle from behind.
According to police, the woman driver of the vehicle involved in the accident was also injured. The accused, who sustained a head injury, underwent a CT scan at the Jinnah hospital.
They claimed that the suspect had taken her vehicle from a bungalow located in the DHA Scheme One. It is suspected that she panicked after colliding with another car, “pressing the accelerator instead of the brake, which led to the crash.”
The woman’s car flipped over multiple times, the police said.
Investigations were under way to gather more information from the woman’s husband regarding the circumstances of the incident.
