    KARACHI: In yet another traffic accident, three people, including a woman, were killed when a bus rammed into two motorcycles at the city’s Drigh Road underpass on Monday, police said.<\/p>\n

    According to police, the incident occurred when a speeding passenger bus hit the motorcycles in an underpass, leaving three people dead and critically injuring another woman. <\/p>\n

    As per a report released by police this month, traffic accidents killed over 500 people in 2025, of which 60 deaths occurred in accidents involving trucks.<\/p>\n

    Expanding on the accident-related statistics in the country’s financial club, the police said that 25 people died in traffic accidents involving buses this year, 11 people in mini buses, six in coaches and 48 in accidents featuring trailers.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, 20 people died in accidents involving dumpers, 44 in water tankers and six in oil tankers’ accidents.<\/p>\n

    Also, 15 people died in van collisions, five in jeeps and 58 in car collisions, the police added. Out of the total deaths, 51 were those of women.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
