A serious road accident took place in Karachi when a speeding vehicle lost control and crashed into a roadside food stall. The incident left four workers injured and raised concerns about traffic safety in residential areas.
According to police, the car veered off the road and rammed into a halwa puri stall. The impact caused hot cooking oil to spill on the workers present at the site. All four employees suffered burn injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Police said the injured workers were preparing food when the crash occurred. Doctors described their condition as serious but stable. Hospital staff confirmed that treatment is ongoing.
CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced and is being reviewed by authorities. The video clearly shows the car losing control before smashing into the halwa puri stall. Utensils and boiling oil can be seen scattering across the area, causing panic among bystanders.
After reviewing the footage and conducting initial inquiries, police detained the driver of the car. The suspect was identified as Aurangzeb. Another individual present in the vehicle was also taken into custody. Both are being questioned to determine what led to the crash.
Police officials stated that reckless driving appears to be a possible cause. However, further investigation is underway. The CCTV footage will be used as key evidence during legal proceedings.
Authorities expressed concern over frequent accidents involving roadside stalls. Such stalls are common across Karachi and often operate close to busy roads. Limited safety barriers make workers vulnerable to speeding vehicles.
The incident has renewed calls for stricter enforcement of traffic laws. Police urged drivers to follow speed limits, especially in populated areas. They also advised stall owners to take precautionary safety measures where possible.
In a separate incident captured on CCTV, a robbery in Bahadurabad took an unexpected turn. Thieves fleeing on a motorcycle lost nearly 200 tolas of stolen gold after hitting a speed breaker. The jewelry scattered across the road.
Police confirmed that most of the stolen gold was recovered. However, the suspects escaped with an estimated $100,000. Investigators are using CCTV footage and geo-fencing to trace their movements.
Both incidents highlight the growing role of surveillance footage in solving crimes. Authorities continue to rely on CCTV evidence to ensure accountability and public safety in Karachi.
