A woman and her three children were injured when their car fell into a deep excavation pit at an under-construction site in a residential society in Karachi’s Manghopir area, police said.
The accident occurred at night when the vehicle plunged from a height into the construction site. All four occupants sustained injuries and were subsequently taken to a private hospital for treatment.
Police identified the woman driving the vehicle as 50-year-old Samia. Two of her children were reported to be 17 and six years old, while the age of the third child could not immediately be confirmed.
The vehicle remained trapped inside the excavation for several hours before being recovered with the assistance of a crane.
According to preliminary information, neither residents nor the housing society’s management immediately informed police or emergency rescue services about the accident.
Police later arrived at the scene and began investigating how the vehicle had entered the excavation area.
Initial findings indicated that excessive speed may have been a contributing factor, although the precise circumstances of the crash have yet to be established.
Authorities are continuing their investigation and gathering further information about the incident, including the conditions surrounding the construction site.
