Three motorway police officers lost their lives in a fatal road accident on the M-5 motorway early Sunday morning. According to rescue sources, their patrolling vehicle was struck by another high-speed vehicle, causing a devastating collision. The impact left the police vehicle badly damaged, and responders declared the three officers dead at the scene.
The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation. Preliminary reports suggest that the other vehicle may have lost control, but motorway authorities are also looking into potential brake failure or driver fatigue. Rescue 1122 teams rushed to the site to assist, but they were unable to save the officers.
Motorway Police have expressed deep grief and extended condolences to the families of the deceased. High-ranking officials said that the fallen men were experienced officers with exemplary service records. A formal inquiry has been ordered to determine responsibility and to prevent such tragedies in the future.
This deadly incident adds to growing concerns about road safety on Pakistani motorways. Observers have called for stricter enforcement of speed limits and more rigorous training for drivers, especially around high-risk zones. The motorway police union has demanded that stricter protocols be put in place for patrolling vehicles.
The public reaction has been quick: many citizens have voiced support and sorrow on social media, calling for reforms to better protect law enforcement officers on duty. Meanwhile, motorway patrols have temporarily ramped up safety checks across several sectors of M-5.
