On late Sunday night, a four-year-old child was murdered after being hit by a rashly driven dumper in Karachi’s North Karachi district.

The child girl was crossing the road in North Karachi’s Sector 5-D neighbourhood when she was hit by a dumper, killing her on the spot, according to reports. Residents gathered at the site and set fire to the dumper.

The enraged villagers also kidnapped the truck driver and physically abused him before handing him over to authorities. Rescue crews also arrived on the scene and transported the deceased to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.
