KARACHI-At least one was killed and five others sustained injuries when a pink bus hit a rikshaw in Karachi on Saturday early in the morning.
According to the details, an accident was reported from North Karachi Saleem Center where a pink bus – the first women-only bus service in Pakistan’s Sindh province – hit a three-wheeler rickshaw.
