KARACHI, Jan 27: A speeding truck hit a motorcycle and killed two middle-aged riders near Sohrab Goth on Saturday. Babar, 35, and Ahmed Ali Siddique, 40, were on their way near New Sabzi Mandi when a speeding truck (LX-6568) hit their motorcycle (KCY-3260). Both the men sustained fatal injuries and died on the spot. The police seized the oil tanker while the driver fled. The bodies were shifted to JPMC for autopsy.

A cleaner of an oil tanker died when he slipped away from top of the tanker while sleeping and fell in a drain located nearby on Friday night. His body was shifted to JPMC where doctors said the cause of his death was fracture in skull, which he suffered while falling from the tanker.

BODY FOUND: The New Karachi Industrial Area police found the decomposed body of an elderly woman, Batool, widow of Matloob Khan, from her house in Sector 5-G, New Karachi.

Area residents said she was living alone and they got worried when her house remained closed for around a week.
