Four Dead as Bus Collides with Microbus in Cumilla

Four people, including a child, were killed early Friday morning in a tragic accident involving a bus and a microbus in Chauddagram, Cumilla.

The collision occurred around 6 a.m. in the Batisha Nanakara area. The microbus, which had lost control, crashed into a parked pickup van on the Dhaka-bound lane of the Dhaka-Chattogram Highway. Moments later, a Star Line bus traveling in the same direction collided with the microbus, resulting in the deaths of four individuals at the scene.

Mia Bazar Highway Police Officer-in-Charge (OC) Rois Uddin confirmed the fatalities and provided details of the accident to the media. The identities of the victims have yet to be verified.
