At least 14 people were killed and one person was injured when a rickshaw collided with a train near Sheikhupura on Saturday.
The train, Karakoram Express, was on its way from Lahore to Karachi when it met an accident with the rickshaw which was reportedly carrying around 14 people – mainly women and children.
Police said the rickshaw was over-capacity and drove onto the train track moments before the Lahore-bound train passed through, smashing into it.
An eyewitness said that the passengers in the rickshaw were travelling to a mazaar in the area and there were no gates on the railway crossing. The police and rescue teams reached the spot later on.
