KARACHI: A young private traffic marshal lost his life when a car, which had veered out of control, struck and dragged him into a ditch on the Superhighway near DHA City on Saturday.
Rescue-1122 official Hassaan Khan told Dawn that the organisers of the Hub Car Rally had arranged the race on M-9 motorway this time.
He explained that during the race, one car lost control due to over-speeding. It detached from its track and hit volunteer traffic marshal Danish, who was standing at a cabin to guide drivers. The impact of the accident was so severe that it not only destroyed the cabin but also dragged Danish into a ditch.
As a result, he suffered serious spinal and head injuries and was taken to the trauma centre at the Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi, where he died during treatment, the rescue official added.
The driver, identified as Tariq Khan, sustained minor injuries as he was wearing safety gear.
