Three Young Lives Lost in Feni Motorcycle Tragedy
A routine journey home turned into a heartbreaking tragedy on Monday night when a motorcycle carrying three friends crashed on the Noakhali-Feni regional road in Dagonbhuiyan upazila, Feni. The accident claimed the lives of all three riders, leaving their families and communities devastated.
The victims—Antar Gosh, 18, from Jugidia village in Companiganj, Sourav Gopal, 23, from Alipur village in Begumganj, and Debu Boishab, 21, from Birahimpur village in Companiganj—were returning home after a visit to Feni when disaster struck.
A Fatal Collision
According to Delwar Hossain, a CNG autorickshaw driver who witnessed the crash, the motorcycle was speeding when it struck a tree log left on the roadside in Asharfpur, near Bakerbazar. The sudden impact sent all three riders tumbling onto the road.
Before they could regain their bearings, a fast-moving vehicle from behind ran over Sourav and Debu, killing them instantly. Antar, severely injured, was rushed to Feni General Hospital but tragically succumbed to his injuries en route, as confirmed by Dr. Md Sujan of the hospital.
Legal and Investigative Actions
Officer-in-Charge Md Harunur Rashid of the Mohipal Highway Police Station confirmed that two bodies were recovered from the scene. Both were sent to the hospital morgue for autopsies as part of the ongoing investigation. Authorities are conducting legal formalities, and the investigation continues into the cause of the crash.
The untimely deaths of these young men have left their families in a state of profound grief. Known well in their villages, the loss has sent shockwaves through the tight-knit communities of Jugidia, Alipur, and Birahimpur.
A Community Shaken
The tragic incident highlights the dangers of reckless driving and inadequate road safety measures. It also underscores the pressing need for improved road conditions, stricter enforcement of traffic regulations, and greater public awareness of the risks involved in speeding and unsafe driving practices.
As the community mourns, there are calls for more stringent measures to prevent such accidents in the future. Authorities, while continuing their investigation, are urged to consider stronger action to protect lives on the roads.
