Two people were killed and two others injured in a tragic accident when a bus collided with a CNG-run autorickshaw in Gazipur on Monday morning.
The incident occurred around 10 a.m. in the Shibbari area of Gazipur city. While the identities of the victims are yet to be confirmed, authorities reported that a bus, believed to be operated by Gazipur Paribahan, was traveling at high speed towards Dhaka when it lost control and crashed into the autorickshaw.
