Introduction
On a sad Saturday, a van and a trailer crashed into each other near Qazi Ahmed town in Sindh’s Shaheed Benazirabad District. This terrible accident killed five people and hurt ten others. The van was going fast and first hit a donkey cart. Then, it crashed into a trailer coming from the opposite side.
A Common Problem
Road accidents like this happen a lot in Pakistan. People drive too fast, pass other cars in dangerous ways, and don’t follow traffic rules. These actions lead to many accidents on the highways. In the past four years, 115 people died and 317 were hurt in 97 traffic accidents on a part of the Indus Highway between Jamshoro and Sehwan.
The Rescue Effort
When the accident happened, police and rescue teams quickly went to help. They found two dead bodies and many injured people at the scene. They took them to Qazi Ahmed Taluka Hospital. Some people were very badly hurt, so they were sent to the Peoples University of Medical & Health Sciences for Women in Nawabshah. Sadly, three more people died when they got there.
The Van’s Journey
The van was carrying people who wanted to visit the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan city. This shrine is a special place for many people, and they travel long distances to see it. The accident happened on Amri Road, which is a busy road in the area.
Other Recent Accidents
Just a day before this accident, five people in a car died and six others in an SUV were hurt. The SUV was driving on the wrong side of the Indus Highway and hit the car near Sann town in Jamshoro. Last month, a bus going to Karachi hit a trailer that was not moving near Nooriabad on the M-9 motorway. This crash killed one person and hurt 11 others. A week before that, two young people and a child died when two motorcycles were hit by fast-moving cars on the Indus Highway in Jamshoro.
A Sad Reminder
On January 9, two cars crashed near Dhabeji on the National Highway between Karachi and Thatta. Four people died, including a newly-wed man and his mother. Six others were hurt. These accidents remind us how important it is to drive safely and follow traffic rules.
The Need for Change
These accidents are very sad, and they happen too often. People need to be more careful when they drive. The government also needs to make sure that roads are safe and that traffic rules are followed. We hope that in the future, there will be fewer accidents and fewer people will get hurt or die on the roads.
Conclusion
The accident in Shaheed Benazirabad District is a tragic example of what can happen when people don’t drive safely. It is important for everyone to remember to follow traffic rules and drive carefully. This way, we can make the roads safer for everyone.
