The SUV killed a father and daughter and injured five others after it crashed into two motorcycles and a car.

After losing control and hitting some motorcyclists, the big car—driven by a lady later identified as Natasha, a local businessman’s daughter—rammed into a car. The car reportedly reversed at that point, worsening the situation, according to witnesses at the site.

Residents of Scheme 33 Imran Arif, 60, and his daughter Amina, 22, were named as the victims of the catastrophe. At that moment, Imran Arif and his daughter were making their way back from his workplace. Injuries claimed the lives of the father and daughter at the site.

Immediately following the tragedy, five more people who suffered injuries were sent to Jinnah Hospital and are presently undergoing treatment. One is believed to be very ill, and the conditions of the other four are stated as stable.

After the collision, a sizable throng of people flocked to the scene, where they helped hold the hand of Natasha, the SUV’s driver, until the police could take her into custody. Natasha didn’t seem to be mentally stable when she was taken into custody, according to law enforcement officials. She was found to be in possession of a driving licence for the UK.

On the basis of a complaint from the deceased Imran Arif’s brother, a first information report regarding the traffic accident was later filed at the Bahadurabad police station.

The driver of the car that caused the collision, a woman, reportedly sustained injuries, including a head wound, according to police reports. At Jinnah Hospital, a CT scan of the woman was being performed, they said. To find out whether she was under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, the police also started a medical check.
