LAHORE: In a tragic accident, a senior citizen was killed and his young granddaughter was injured in a road accident in Lahore’s Gulberg area on Thursday morning after their motorcycle was struck by a Punjab University speeding bus.
According to reports, the event happened while the victim, Saleem Hussain, 66, was on his way to drop his granddaughter off at school.
Rescue officials and witnesses reported that the motorcyclist was fatally struck by the university bus that collided with it from behind. Hussain passed away at the spot.
