A man and his three children were killed after a speeding trailer ran over their motorcycle on GT Road in Okara on Saturday.
Muhammad Nadeem, a resident of village 24-2R, was on his way to drop his two sons at school with his young daughter when the trailer struck them. All four died on the spot.
The victims were identified as Nadeem, his 10-year-old son Aryan, 8-year-old son Ayan, and 6-year-old daughter Aiza Fatima. Their bodies were taken to Okara District Hospital before being moved to their village by rescue officials.
Police said the trailer driver fled the scene but was later arrested during a raid. Nadeem was employed at a local factory.
The deaths plunged the village into mourning. Shops were shut and the children’s mother fainted upon receiving the news, overcome with grief. Police have launched an investigation into the incident.
