Karachi, July 16 (IBNS): A mishap in an amusement park in Pakistan's Karachi city left a teenager killed, media reports said on Monday.

The mishap occurred in an amusement park on the city's University Road when a swing collapsed to leave 16 others hurt.

" A 16-seater Evolution ride came thundering down late last night in Askari Park of the Old Sabzi Mandi area, killing 14-year-old Kashaf — the daughter of Abdul Samad — and wounding numerous others," reported Geo News.

The ride was closed after the mishap.
