Winder (HRNW)- A tragic accident occurred on the Winder section of the National Highway near Adam Khund, Naka Kharri, where a passenger coach traveling from Karachi to Quetta collided with an oil tanker. The collision resulted in one death and injuries to 12 others.
According to reports, SHO Winder was present at the scene and immediately initiated rescue operations. Police and rescue teams promptly transferred the deceased and injured to HRC Winder Hospital.
Six of the injured were later referred to Karachi Hub for further treatment, with four reported to be in critical condition.
During the rescue operation, severe difficulties were faced due to a shortage of ambulances and inadequate facilities at Winder Hospital. Despite transferring the injured, patients and their families continued to suffer from the lack of proper medical infrastructure.
Local residents have urged the district administration to improve ambulance availability and emergency medical services at Winder Hospital to ensure timely assistance in future incidents.
Traffic on one side of the National Highway remained suspended following the crash, causing long queues of vehicles. Police worked to regulate traffic flow while rescue teams continued transferring the injured.
