Pro biker Arshad Mahmood Butt lost his life on Wednesday night after a car collided with his bike in Karachi's Do Darya area.
According to media reports, the accident happened when a car took a U-turn and turned in front of Butt's bike.
The crash proved fatal for the biker, even though he was wearing safety gear.
Butt, who leaves behind a wife and two children, was an experienced motorcyclist.
He recently participated in the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, a global motorcycle fund-raising event to raise awareness of prostate cancer and male suicide prevention.

Its very sad a precious life of a young professional biker is lost because of an ignorant car driver. I know that agents in connivance with the policemen help untrained and incompetent people get driving licenses even without appearing in the driving test. And as a result other innocent people get killed in Road accidents. Traffic minister must take notice.

Why did the car make a U-turn? Was it on purpose? Or was it a mistake on part of the car driver? Should be investigated.

Karachi drivers are the worst in the world. They have no respect for life, law and love of a fellow human being. They are in rush to die. I g=have recently been there and it's a shame to call us a civilized nation.

Nobody follows the rules of regulations of driving and traffic in Karachi. It is common knowledge among Karachites. My sister's father-in-law was murdered by a hit and run 2 years back. A loving and humble man, lost before his time.
The only reason no one is complaining is because nobody is reporting it, how many people die annually? What is traffic police doing? What is police doing? Where is the accountability? Sindh government is hopeless.

No one wants to follow traffic rules. What makes it even worst that there are no proper signage, traffic markings and u turns are one the most dangerous maneuver.

Its really sad what has happened but it's important to investigate this,
Vehicle was making a u-turn from a designated U-Turn point and the professional biker was over speeding or speeding over the limit?
