ISLAMABAD: Two people were seriously injured in a traffic accident on Islamabad Expressway near Sector I-8 after they were reportedly struck by a speeding vehicle.

Minor Allegedly Driving Vehicle

According to preliminary information and eyewitness accounts from the scene, the vehicle involved in the accident was allegedly being driven by a minor. However, the identity and age of the driver, as well as the circumstances leading to the crash, have yet to be officially confirmed by police.

Police and rescue teams reached the scene following reports of the accident and shifted the injured persons for medical treatment.

Official Confirmation Awaited

Some people present at the scene claimed that one of the injured persons had died following the accident. However, no official confirmation of any fatality was available at the time of filing this report.
