A security guard was killed after being struck by a Metro Bus in Islamabad on Monday, July 28.
The incident took place at the Shaheed-e-Millat Metro Station, where the guard was reportedly run over by a passing bus. Eyewitnesses stated that the accident happened suddenly, and the victim died on the spot.
Rescue teams and authorities arrived at the scene shortly after the incident. The body was later shifted to a nearby hospital for further procedures. Officials have not yet confirmed the identity of the deceased.
So far, no detailed information has been released regarding how the accident occurred or whether any safety protocols were violated. Investigations are ongoing, and law enforcement agencies are expected to provide more clarity soon.
This tragic event has raised concerns about pedestrian safety and traffic management at Metro Bus stations in the capital. Security personnel are often stationed close to bus lanes, which may expose them to potential risks.
Accidents involving public transport systems are relatively rare in Islamabad. However, this incident has highlighted the need for stricter enforcement of safety measures and better training for both drivers and staff working near high-traffic areas.
Officials from the Metro Bus Authority have not issued a formal statement yet. Commuters and locals are urging relevant departments to conduct a full investigation and prevent similar incidents in the future.
In the meantime, commuters at Shaheed-e-Millat and nearby stations were seen expressing concern and shock over the tragedy.
As this is a developing story, more updates are expected once the authorities complete their preliminary investigation and release official findings.
