Child crushed to death by Nawaz Sharif's motorcade

A speeding car accompanying Nawaz Sharif's 'homecoming' motorcade crushed a nine-year-old child in Lalamusa, Punjab, on Friday, the media reported.

The child, identified as Ahmad, was among a crowd of supporters gathered to greet Nawaz Sharif as his motorcade passed through Lalamusa. It seems that he strayed onto the road and was hit by one of the cars belonging to the Elite Force, Dawn reported.

Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb regretted the incident in a statement.
