LAHORE: Divisional Superintendent Muhammad Nasir Khakily said on Saturday that no one was injured in Friday’s slight collision between a rickshaw and locomotive of a goods train.

“We have investigated the incident in depth. The train was already passing the level crossing at a dead-slow speed and slightly hit a motorcycle-rickshaw (carrying no students) driven by a man appeared suddenly on the main line at a level crossing,” he told Dawn.

He said he immediately sent a team to the site which also checked from police, hospital, Rescue 1122 and other sources about injury/causality of anyone. “But not a single person was neither found to be dead nor injured even,” he maintained.
