Young Man Dragged on Road After High-Speed Bike Crash on Bosan Road, Multan

Multan – July 1, 2025:
A young man was dragged on Bosan Road, Multan, after losing control of his fast-moving bike Monday evening. Eyewitnesses reported that the youth was riding at an extremely fast speed, which became the main cause of the horrific incident.

What Happened on Bosan Road?

According to locals, the incident occurred around 6:30 PM, near the busy commercial area of Bosan Road. The young man, believed to be in his early twenties, was reportedly riding a motorbike without a helmet. He was seen weaving through traffic at high speed. Within moments, he lost balance and collided with a roadside pole. The force of the crash caused him to be dragged across the road for several meters, causing severe injuries to his body.

The scene turned chaotic as pedestrians and nearby shopkeepers rushed to help the injured youth. Some tried to stop vehicles, while others called rescue services. Rescue 1122 reached the spot within minutes and quickly transported the injured youth to Nishtar Hospital in Multan for medical treatment.

Injuries and Current Condition

Doctors at Nishtar Hospital confirmed that the boy suffered multiple injuries on his head, arms, and legs. Due to being dragged on the road, his skin was badly scraped, and he lost a lot of blood. Though his condition is now stable, he remains under observation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

His name has not yet been officially released, but sources say he is a resident of a nearby area and a student of a local college.

Eyewitness Account

An eyewitness, Mr. Imran, who owns a shop near the accident spot, said:

“It seemed like he was racing on the road with no concern for safety. Within seconds, he lost control. We saw him crash into the pole and then get dragged by the bike. It was shocking. We all rushed to help him.”

Another local resident, Mrs. Farzana, who was walking nearby with her children, said:

“Youngsters often ride recklessly on this road, and it becomes particularly risky during the evening. The authorities should take action.”

Reasons Behind the Accident

The major reasons that caused this terrible accident appear to be:

• Over-speeding: The youth was riding the bike at an extremely high speed. Driving at excessive speed remains a leading factor behind road accidents across Pakistan.
• Reckless Driving: He was overtaking vehicles dangerously and driving carelessly, ignoring traffic safety.
• No Helmet: Riding without a helmet increased the severity of his head injuries.
• Poor Road Awareness: Many young bikers do not have proper training or awareness of road safety.

Bosan Road – A High-Risk Area

Bosan Road is one of the busiest roads in Multan, connecting commercial and residential areas. It remains crowded throughout the day with cars, bikes, rickshaws, and pedestrians. Due to high traffic volume and the lack of proper speed control measures, the area has become a hotspot for accidents—especially involving young motorbike riders.

Locals say that despite many accidents in the past, no strict action has been taken to stop rash driving.

Authorities’ Response

Multan Traffic Police reached the accident spot soon after the incident. They recorded statements from witnesses and checked nearby CCTV cameras to understand the accident. An officer said:

“We are investigating the case. We request all riders, especially youth, to follow traffic rules. Over-speeding and careless driving put lives at risk.”

The police also reminded that wearing a helmet is compulsory, and those who violate traffic rules will face strict penalties.

The Growing Problem of Bike Accidents in Pakistan

Bike accidents have been rising alarmingly in Pakistan, especially among the youth. Every day, dozens of cases are reported in major cities, including Multan, Lahore, and Karachi. Most of these accidents involve over-speeding, stunts, and lack of safety gear.

According to a recent report by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, motorbike accidents account for nearly 50% of all road accidents in urban areas.

Experts believe that more awareness campaigns, strict enforcement of traffic laws, and better road infrastructure can help reduce such incidents.

What Needs to Be Done?

Here are some steps that can help prevent such tragic events:

• Public Awareness: There should be awareness campaigns in schools, colleges, and on social media to educate youth about safe driving.
• Strict Traffic Law Enforcement: Police must issue challans for over-speeding and riding without a helmet.
• Speed Breakers and Sign Boards: Dangerous turns and high-risk areas like Bosan Road must have clear speed limit signs and speed breakers.
• Training for Young Riders: Driving licenses should only be issued after proper training and testing.

Conclusion

The tragic accident on Bosan Road is a reminder of the dangers of over-speeding and careless bike riding. A young life could have been lost due to just a few seconds of thrill. It is a wake-up call for parents, youth, and authorities to act before more such accidents claim innocent lives.
