Islamabad: One person
died and another was injured when a US embassy vehicle knocked
them down in Islamabad, the embassy confirmed Friday in a
statement
Two Pakistanis, riding a motorbike, were hit by the speeding car
of an American diplomat in Islamabad late Thursday night, leaving
both of them injured, reported Xinhua citing witnesses.
One later died in hospital and the other was undergoing treatment,
police and doctors said.
The dead man's family has registered a case with the police
against the diplomat. However, the diplomat has been released as
he enjoys diplomatic immunity.
The US embassy confirmed the accident and said that an accredited
US diplomat was involved in a road accident at about 9.30 p.m.
Thursday in the vicinity of Margalla Road and Constitution Avenue
in Islamabad.
"The embassy employee's vehicle collided with a motorcycle
carrying two Pakistani citizens, injuring both men," the statement
said.
The statement said the US diplomat, who also sustained minor
injuries, was treated, and released.
"We have and will continue to cooperate fully with the appropriate
Pakistani authorities on the investigation, and are working
through our local insurance company to address financial questions
or concerns," the statement said.
